About this fabric

Woven from 100% linen at an approximate width of 137cm, Elba Ash has a fine, closely set plain weave visible across the swatch. Its cool ash-grey tone is muted rather than stark, moving from pale grey in the light to a deeper smoky shade through the folds. The fabric is specified for curtains and fixed upholstery, with a General Domestic upholstery grade. Care is listed as Delicate Wash 30C or Dry Clean, and 3% shrinkage should be allowed.

How to use it

Use Elba Ash for full-length curtains where its cool grey surface can soften daylight, or for fixed upholstery alongside charcoal, chalk white and weathered timber. Its restrained tone also suits a calm, tailored dining or sitting room scheme.

Use this cool ash-grey linen to bring quiet texture to curtains, dining seats or tailored fixed upholstery.

Pairs well with

Elba Ash 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.
