Elba Eggshell is a pale, warm cream linen with a quietly irregular surface and gentle tonal variation. The close view shows a fine woven texture rather than a printed pattern, giving the colourway a soft, natural depth.

About this fabric

The fabric reads as an understated eggshell, with creamy highlights and slightly deeper beige shadows moving across the weave. Its fine plain construction has the subtle crosshatch character and mild slubbing associated with linen, while remaining visually calm and even at a distance. Made from 100% linen and approximately 137cm wide, it is specified for curtains and fixed upholstery. It is suitable for general domestic upholstery; allow 3% shrinkage and follow the delicate wash 30C or dry-clean care guidance.

How to use it

Use Elba Eggshell to bring a light, warm neutral to relaxed curtains, dining seats or occasional chairs. Its softly shaded cream tone pairs naturally with pale woods, chalky whites and muted taupes without feeling stark.

Pairs well with

Elba Eggshell 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.
