About this fabric

Shown here in Dove, Eldon has a quiet pale taupe cast with a cool grey veil rather than a stark cream. The close, plain linen weave is finely textured, with gentle tonal variation across the surface as the light shifts. Made from 95% linen and 5% nylon, it is 140 cm (55") wide and listed for curtains, loose upholstery, fixed upholstery and bedspreads. Its 40,000 Martindale rub test gives this understated colourway practical upholstery scope; care is professional dry cleaning only, with no washing, bleaching or ironing.

How to use it

Use the softly greyed taupe tone to bring calm warmth to an upholstered chair, relaxed curtain or bedspread, pairing it with chalky whites, pale timber and muted stone shades.

A softly greyed taupe linen blend for relaxed curtains, upholstery and bedspreads.

Pairs well with

Eldon Linen Dove 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.
