Eldon Linen Grey

Eldon Linen Grey has a quiet, warm grey-taupe appearance, with a fine plain weave and softly irregular linen texture visible across the swatch. Its low-contrast surface gives the colour a gently softened, natural depth rather than a flat industrial grey.

About this fabric

This fabric is composed of 95% linen and 5% nylon and measures 140 cm (55") wide. The close plain weave shows delicate slubs and fine tonal variation, while the warm grey cast brings a subtle taupe softness to the colourway. It is suitable for curtains, loose upholstery, fixed upholstery and bedspreads, with a 40,000 Martindale rub test. Care is professional dry cleaning only; do not wash, bleach or iron.

How to use it

Use this warm taupe-grey on a relaxed sofa, headboard or loose cover where its natural linen texture can sit alongside ivory, mushroom and weathered timber. As curtains, it will bring a softly muted, quietly layered finish rather than a stark cool-grey effect.

A softly textured linen blend in a warm grey-taupe tone for relaxed upholstery, curtains and bedspreads.

Pairs well with

Eldon Linen Grey 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.
