About this fabric

Woven in a 52% Linen, 42% Viscose, 6% Polyamide composition, this fabric has a smooth, neatly finished handle that suits both upholstery and curtains. The stripe is made up of slender vertical bands in pale sand, taupe and ivory tones, creating a calm, evenly spaced rhythm across the cloth. With a horizontal repeat of approximately 5cm and an overall width of approximately 148cm, the design feels precise and orderly rather than bold or oversized. Its warm-neutral colouring keeps the look understated, while the slight sheen of the viscose softens the stripe and adds a gentle lift in the light.

How to use it

Use Frances Stripe Sand on tailored cushions, dining chairs or relaxed curtains where a quiet neutral stripe will sharpen the room without overpowering it. It sits especially well with natural oak, limestone and other warm, pale finishes.

A quiet sand stripe that brings a clean, tailored finish to classic interiors.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Frances Stripe Sand without fighting it. 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.
