About this fabric

Made from 100% linen, Elba Sky is approximately 137cm wide and suitable for curtains and general domestic fixed upholstery. Its fine, even weave gives the fabric a calm, natural texture rather than a pronounced pattern. The blue-grey tone remains light and airy in the brighter folds, deepening into a quieter grey-green shade where the cloth turns away from the light. Allow 3% shrinkage; aftercare is a delicate wash at 30C or dry clean.

How to use it

Use Elba Sky for softly gathered curtains in a cool-toned room, or on fixed seating where its pale blue-grey colour can sit alongside chalky whites, stone and natural timber.

Use this cool, pale blue-grey linen to soften relaxed curtains or understated upholstery.

Pairs well with

Elba Sky 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.
