About this fabric

The colour reads as a cool, muted grey softened by the natural warmth of linen, giving the surface a light, airy appearance. A close plain weave is clearly visible, with subtle variations in tone where the fabric bends and catches the light. At approximately 137cm wide, it is supplied for curtains and fixed upholstery, with a General Domestic upholstery grade. It is made from 100% linen; allow 3% shrinkage, and care for it with a delicate wash at 30C or dry cleaning.

How to use it

Use this pale dove-grey colourway to bring a calm, lightly layered finish to curtains or fixed upholstery, especially alongside chalky whites, warm timber and soft stone tones. Its understated weave suits relaxed rooms where texture matters more than pattern.

A softly textured pale dove-grey linen for relaxed curtains and general domestic fixed upholstery.

Pairs well with

Elba Dove 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.
