Weathered Linen Chalk

Weathered Linen Chalk has a pale, chalky beige ground with a softly irregular linen weave visible across the surface. Fine horizontal slubs and tonal variation give the plain cloth a gently weathered, natural character.

About this fabric

Woven from 100% linen, this 142.55 cm (56") fabric combines a light, warm beige tone with closely spaced horizontal threads and subtle darker flecks. The restrained colour reads softly rather than starkly, while the uneven yarn texture adds quiet depth without introducing a printed motif. With a 50,000 Martindale rub test, it is suitable for curtains, loose upholstery, fixed upholstery and bedspreads. Do not wash, bleach or iron; professional dry cleaning is required.

How to use it

Use this chalk-beige colourway to soften pale rooms, relaxed seating and upholstered headboards, where its natural slub texture can sit alongside warm wood, ivory and muted stone tones. It also works as a calm curtain or bedspread fabric when a room needs texture without strong pattern.

A softly textured chalk-beige linen suited to relaxed upholstery, curtains and bedspreads.

Pairs well with

Weathered Linen Chalk 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.
