About this fabric

The swatch is a near-solid chalk cream, with a softly warm ivory cast and a fine, quiet woven grain rather than a printed motif. Made from 95% linen and 5% nylon, it has a natural fibre-led character, while the 140 cm (55") width suits the listed curtain, loose upholstery, fixed upholstery and bedspread applications. A 40,000 Martindale rub test supports its use on seating as well as window treatments. Care is specific: do not wash, bleach or iron; have it professionally dry cleaned.

How to use it

Use the pale chalk tone to brighten relaxed sitting rooms, upholstered headboards or full-length curtains, pairing it with warm timber, aged oak and softly contrasting taupes. Its restrained colour also works as a calm, light foundation for layered natural textures.

A softly warm chalk-cream linen for light, relaxed upholstery, curtains and bedspreads.

Pairs well with

Eldon Linen Chalk 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.
