About this fabric

Woven from 100% linen, Danube Check Ember is supplied at approximately 137cm wide for curtains. Its medium checks alternate deep ember red, muted terracotta and cream, with the pale squares bringing a soft lift to the darker tones. The close plain weave remains visible across the folds, giving the fabric a natural texture rather than a smooth, polished finish. This fabric is intended for curtain use and should be dry cleaned.

How to use it

Hang Danube Check Ember as full-length curtains where its warm red-brown checks can add depth against cream walls, pale timber or other natural finishes. Pair it with unfussy linen textures to keep the colourway’s relaxed country feel.

Use this warm ember-red check for softly rustic curtains with natural, relaxed texture.

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.
