About this fabric

Made from 100% linen and approximately 137cm wide, Elba Pearl Grey is suitable for curtains and fixed upholstery in a general domestic setting. Its fine plain weave has a subtle crosshatched character, while the pearl-grey tone shifts between soft silver and warmer ivory where the cloth folds. The restrained colour and natural surface keep the fabric relaxed rather than formal. Allow 3% shrinkage; care is by delicate wash at 30C or dry cleaning.

How to use it

Use this cool pearl-grey linen for full-length curtains in a light, tonal scheme, or on fixed upholstery where its quiet woven texture can soften sharper architectural finishes. Pair it with chalky whites, pale oak and muted grey-green accents.

Pairs well with

Elba Pearl Grey 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.
