Linear Duck Egg

Acacia Fabric

Linear Duck Egg shows a soft, cool duck egg ground crossed with slender, wavering lines in muted grey-green. The effect is airy but structured, with a subtle textile shimmer that lifts the surface.

About this fabric

This colourway from Fryett's Fabrics' Acacia collection is composed of 68% cotton and 32% polyester, with a 145cm width and a 53cm pattern repeat. The ground reads as a pale duck egg grey with a gentle green cast, while the vertical linear motif moves in a slightly darker, smoky tone that gives the design its rhythm. Light catches the surface in a restrained way, adding a faint textured sheen rather than a glossy finish. The overall look is calm and tailored, with enough pattern presence to hold its own on either soft furnishings or window treatments.

How to use it

Use it where you want a cool, fresh-toned neutral that still has movement, such as dining chairs, occasional upholstery or relaxed curtains. It pairs especially well with chalk whites, weathered oak and other soft blue-green accents.

The cool duck egg ground and flowing linear motif make this an easy choice for polished upholstery or elegant curtains.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Linear Duck Egg 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.
