About this fabric

The shade is a muted, airy blue with a subtle grey cast, rather than a bright or saturated blue. A close, even linen weave is lifted by delicate vertical and horizontal slubs, giving the surface quiet movement while remaining visually plain. Woven from 95% linen and 5% nylon, it is 140 cm (55") wide and tested to 40,000 Martindale rubs. Listed uses include curtains, loose upholstery, fixed upholstery and bedspreads; care is professional dry clean only—do not wash, bleach or iron.

How to use it

Use this soft blue-grey on relaxed upholstery or full-length curtains where its cool tone can bring a calm, light quality to the room. Pair it with chalky whites, pale timber and muted blue accents to complement the understated slub texture.

A cool, pale blue linen with a subtle slubbed weave for relaxed curtains, upholstery and bedspreads.

Pairs well with

Eldon Linen Soft Blue 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.
