About this fabric

Woven from 100% linen, Elba Cayenne has a fine, tactile plain weave with subtle tonal variation visible across the swatch. Its cayenne colour sits between terracotta and rust, with darker copper-brown passages where the fabric folds and lighter clay highlights on the raised areas. At approximately 137cm wide, it is suitable for curtains and fixed upholstery, with a General Domestic upholstery grade. Allow 3% shrinkage; after-care is Delicate Wash at 30C or Dry Clean.

How to use it

Pair this warm cayenne shade with chalky neutrals, aged timber and natural textures for an earthy, relaxed scheme. It brings particular warmth to full-length curtains or tailored fixed upholstery without introducing a pattern.

Use this warm cayenne linen to bring earthy depth to curtains, dining seating or fixed upholstery.

Pairs well with

Elba Cayenne 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.
