About this fabric

Made from 100% linen and approximately 137cm wide, Elba Rosebay has a fine plain weave with a subtly tactile, lightly irregular surface. The muted rose-purple tone stays soft rather than bright, while the folds bring out cooler lilac highlights and deeper plum shading. It is specified for curtains and fixed upholstery, with a General Domestic upholstery grade. Allow 3% shrinkage; care is by Delicate Wash at 30C or dry cleaning.

How to use it

Use Rosebay at the window where its cool mauve tone can soften daylight, or on fixed seating alongside chalky neutrals and dusky plum accents. Its relaxed linen texture suits understated, layered rooms rather than highly formal schemes.

Use this muted mauve-rose linen for relaxed curtains or softly tailored domestic upholstery.

Pairs well with

Elba Rosebay 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.
