Astell Linen

Essential Colour III - Neutral FabricBF11177.110

Astell Linen is a very pale oatmeal-beige textile with a quiet, finely woven surface. Its low-contrast texture gives the neutral colour a gentle depth while retaining an almost plain appearance.

About this fabric

The warm beige tone is soft and lightly chalky, with subtle vertical variation and a fine, even woven grain visible across the swatch. Made from 47% viscose, 33% cotton and 20% linen, it has a balanced textile character rather than the look of a strongly rustic linen. At 140 cm wide, with a 2 cm vertical repeat and 2.5 cm horizontal repeat, it is suitable for curtains, loose upholstery, fixed upholstery and bedspreads. A 45,000 Martindale rub test supports its use on upholstered furniture; care is professional dry cleaning only, with no washing, bleaching or ironing.

How to use it

Use this warm oatmeal neutral to soften darker timber, stone and aged leather, or pair it with chalky whites and muted taupes for a calm layered scheme. Its restrained texture works equally well on a tailored chair, relaxed loose cover or full-length curtain.

A softly textured warm neutral for relaxed upholstery, curtains and coordinated bedspreads.

Astell Linen 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.
