About this fabric
The close-up reveals a finely textured, even plain weave rather than a printed motif, with subtle natural variation across the lilac surface. This is a 100% linen fabric, approximately 137cm wide, specified for curtains and general domestic fixed upholstery. The cool, dusty tone gives the cloth a calm, quietly elegant presence, while the weave adds interest without introducing a visible pattern. Allow 3% shrinkage, and care for it with a delicate wash at 30C or dry cleaning as advised.
How to use it
Use Elba Lilac for full-length curtains in a cool neutral room, or on fixed seating where its muted purple-grey tone can sit alongside chalky whites, soft taupes and brushed metal.
A cool, softly muted linen with a fine plain weave, suited to relaxed curtains and domestic upholstery.

Pairs well with
Elba Lilac 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.
