About this fabric

The close, even weave gives this plain colourway a tactile natural texture, while the cloth’s folds create subtle tonal movement rather than a printed motif. Made from 100% linen, Elba Petrol is approximately 137cm wide and specified for curtains and general domestic fixed upholstery. Its saturated petrol depth feels cooler and more enveloping than a bright aqua, with the surface catching light softly across the creases. Allow 3% shrinkage, and care for it with a delicate 30C wash or dry cleaning.

How to use it

Pair Elba Petrol with chalky whites, warm timber and aged brass for a calm, coastal-influenced scheme, or use it against charcoal and walnut for a deeper, more atmospheric room. Its cool blue-green depth is especially effective on full curtains or a tailored upholstered chair.

Use the deep petrol tone to bring cool, layered colour to curtains, occasional seating or fixed upholstery.

Pairs well with

Elba Petrol 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.
