About this fabric

This colourway has the appearance of a washed linen-inspired neutral, but it is made in 100% polyester for a practical, consistent finish. The weave is clearly visible in the close-up, with small, even checks of texture that keep the surface visually active without a printed pattern repeat. At 140cm wide and with a 0cm pattern repeat, it is straightforward to plan for both upholstery and curtain-making. The shade reads as a muted soft beige with a slightly earthy undertone, so it feels warmer than a grey but less creamy than a classic stone.

How to use it

Use this beige tone to soften painted wood, dark joinery, or leather, where its dry, linen-like texture adds quiet contrast. It is especially effective in relaxed schemes that need a neutral with a little surface interest rather than a flat plain.

A calm neutral that works neatly across upholstery and curtains.

Pairs well with

Arran FR Linen 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.
