About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, Selma Creme has a simple, plain appearance with a delicate slub and an almost chalky brightness that keeps it feeling fresh. The 140cm approximate width and no-repeat construction make it an easy choice for neat upholstery runs or unfussy curtains. The colour sits between ivory and warm vanilla, so it catches the light gently without looking shiny. With care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM, it is a practical decorative linen with a clean, understated finish.

How to use it

Use this soft cream as a calming base for relaxed upholstery, blinds or airy curtains, especially alongside oak, rattan and brushed brass. Its warm neutrality is ideal when you want light on the walls and a fabric that won’t feel cold.

A softly luminous neutral that layers easily with natural woods and warmer linens.

Pairs well with

Selma Creme is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
