Kensington Linen

Brodsworth Fabric

Kensington Linen is a quiet, linen-look fabric in a soft beige tone with a gently crosshatched surface. The finish reads warm and even, with a subtle sheen that lifts the texture in the light.

About this fabric

This colourway has a pared-back linen effect, blending pale beige and sandy undertones for a calm, natural look. The surface shows fine horizontal striation and a softly slubbed texture that gives the fabric movement without a visible pattern repeat. Made from 100% polyester and supplied at 140cm wide, it offers a practical plain cloth for schemes that need a restrained neutral. With no pattern repeat to match, it is straightforward to cut for clean modern upholstery or relaxed window treatments.

How to use it

Use it to soften darker woods, brass and textured wallpapers, where its warm beige tone will keep the room feeling light. It also works well in layered neutral schemes with ivory, taupe and oatmeal upholstery.

A warm, understated neutral that layers easily with timber, stone and tonal upholstery.

Pairs well with

Kensington 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.
