Wide Linen Sauternes Ardoise

Name: Wide Linen Sauternes Ardoise
Brand: Dedar

Wide Linen Sauternes Ardoise has a pale greige-grey tone and a fine, even weave that reads softly translucent in the light. Its relaxed drape creates gentle depth where the cloth gathers and folds.

About this fabric

The image shows a delicate, closely woven surface with a subtle linen-like texture and no visible motif. Its cool muted grey is softened by a faint warm greige cast, while deeper folds reveal a quiet variation in tone. As part of Dedar’s Sheer fabrics collection, this lightweight-looking cloth is suited to drapery, where its translucency can temper daylight without making the room feel stark. The loose wave across the swatch also shows how naturally the fabric forms fluid, understated folds.

How to use it

Pair this pale greige-grey sheer with chalky walls, natural timber and warm metal accents, using full-height curtains to soften strong daylight. It also works as a restrained layer behind heavier side drapes.

Use this softly translucent greige-grey weave for calm, light-filtering curtains or blinds.

Wide Linen Sauternes Ardoise 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.
