About this fabric

The plain surface has a delicate linen crossweave that gives the cloth a lightly tactile, natural appearance without a printed motif. Its muted red tone sits between dusty rose and terracotta, while the folds reveal richer wine-coloured depth where the light falls away. Made from 100% linen and approximately 137cm wide, Elba is suitable for curtains and general domestic fixed upholstery. Allow 3% shrinkage; care is by delicate wash at 30C or dry cleaning.

How to use it

Use this warm, softened red for relaxed curtains or a fixed upholstered chair, balancing its dusty rose cast with oatmeal, chalky beige and dark wood. The deeper burgundy shading also works well with aged leather and muted brass.

Pair this softly weathered rose-red linen with warm neutrals, aged timber and deeper burgundy accents.

Pairs well with

Elba Rouge 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.
