About this fabric

This plain fabric is woven from 100% linen, with a fine, closely set texture visible throughout the swatch. Its dark chocolate tone has a grounded depth, while diagonal areas of reflected light reveal warmer brown and muted taupe notes within the surface. At approximately 137cm wide and specified for curtains, it is suited to window treatments where the rich colour can read as a strong, understated backdrop. After-care is dry clean.

How to use it

Use this dark chocolate brown for full-length curtains in a room with warm timber, aged metal or pale neutral walls; its near-black depth will frame windows with a calm, atmospheric presence.

A deep chocolate-brown linen with a softly textured plain weave, suited to tailored curtains and darker, atmospheric interiors.

Pairs well with

Danube Plain Dark Chocolate 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.
