About this fabric

The Duck Egg colourway shifts from misty aqua in the lit areas to a deeper blue-green through the folds, giving the plain cloth quiet depth without a motif. Fine intersecting threads are visible across the surface, creating a restrained natural linen grain with a lightly softened finish. Made from 100% linen and approximately 137cm wide, it is specified for curtains. After-care is dry clean.

How to use it

Pair this cool duck egg blue with chalky whites, pale timber and soft grey for a light coastal scheme, or use it against warm oak and muted brass to balance its cooler tone.

Use this cool, pale blue-green linen for softly gathered curtains that bring a fresh, airy quality to the room.

Danube Plain Duck Egg 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.
