Baker House Linen Nutmeg

Baker House Linen Nutmeg has a warm, muted brown tone with the softly earthy character associated with its name. The close view reveals a fine, irregular crosshatch weave that gives the plain surface gentle depth.

About this fabric

The Nutmeg colourway reads as a mellow brown with a subtle taupe cast, rather than a bright or strongly red-toned shade. Fine horizontal and vertical threads form a restrained checked texture, while small variations in the linen yarn keep the surface from appearing flat. Made from 100% linen and supplied at 137 cm wide, it is suitable for curtains, loose upholstery, fixed upholstery and bedspreads. A 50,000 Martindale rub test supports its use on upholstered furniture; care requires professional dry cleaning, with no washing, bleaching or ironing.

How to use it

Use this warm Nutmeg brown to bring a grounded, tonal finish to upholstered seating, or let it fall as relaxed curtains against cream, stone and deeper timber tones. Its understated crosshatch texture also works well across bedspreads where a plain fabric needs more surface interest.

A warm, quietly textured linen suited to both tailored upholstery and softly relaxed curtains.

Pairs well with

Baker House Linen Nutmeg 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.
