About this fabric

Woven from 100% linen, Elba Mantis has a fine plain weave and a subdued mantis-green tone that shifts softly between sage and deeper leaf green across the folds. The lightly napped-looking surface catches the light without becoming shiny, giving the colour quiet depth. At approximately 137cm wide, it is specified for curtains and fixed upholstery and carries a General Domestic upholstery grade. Allow 3% shrinkage; after-care is Delicate Wash 30C or Dry Clean.

How to use it

Use this cool, softened green at full length for relaxed curtains, or on a fixed armchair where its natural linen texture can balance warm timber, pale neutrals and darker botanical greens.

A softly textured linen in a cool, muted green, suited to relaxed curtains and general domestic fixed upholstery.

Pairs well with

Elba Mantis 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.
