Selma Eglantine reads as a warm, softly sun-faded terracotta with an apricot cast. Its plain linen surface has a neat, small-scale slub that gives the colour a gentle woven depth.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, Selma Eglantine has the crisp, natural handle and lightly textured surface expected of a quality plain fabric, with the weave remaining visible across the cloth. The colour sits between coral and terracotta, softened by a pale apricot warmth rather than leaning red or brown. With a width of approximately 140cm and no repeat, it is an easy choice for large, clean applications where the texture and tone can do the work. The BM fire code and Q 8 + T 3 care code support its use as a practical decorative textile for interiors that still want a natural look.

How to use it

This shade works especially well with chalky whites, pale oak and warm neutrals, where its peachy terracotta tone feels fresh rather than heavy. Use it to soften tailored seating or relaxed curtains, adding a gentle warmth to rooms that need colour without strong contrast.

A warm linen that brings an easy, sun-washed softness to tailored or casual interiors.

Pairs well with

Selma Eglantine 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.
