Elba Cerulean has a cool, blue-grey cerulean tone with a softly mottled surface that shifts gently as the light moves across the cloth. Its fine plain linen texture keeps the colour nuanced rather than flat.

About this fabric

Woven from 100% linen, this 137cm-wide fabric shows a close, delicate weave with subtle tonal variation across the blue-grey surface. The restrained cerulean shade feels cool and quietly atmospheric, with lighter areas appearing where the fabric catches the light. It 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 for.

How to use it

Pair the cool cerulean blue with chalky whites, pale grey woods and soft lilac accents for an airy scheme, or use it against deep navy and dark timber to give the fine linen texture more depth. It is suited to relaxed curtains as well as tailored fixed seating.

Use this cool blue-grey linen to bring calm, lightly textured colour to curtains, dining seating or fixed upholstery.

Pairs well with

Elba Cerulean 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.
