About this fabric

Woven from 100% linen, Elba Spice is approximately 137cm wide and specified for curtains and fixed upholstery. Its fine, closely set weave has a natural linen texture, while the folded swatch shows darker terracotta shadows beside lighter, softly lit areas. The warm orange-brown colour has a grounded, earthy depth rather than a bright or highly saturated finish. It is rated for General Domestic upholstery, with 3% shrinkage to allow for and care instructions of Delicate Wash 30C or Dry Clean.

How to use it

Use Elba Spice to bring a warm clay note to relaxed curtains, or upholster a domestic chair where its softly textured surface can catch the light across curved folds. It works especially well with chalky neutrals, natural timber and other earthy tones.

A warm, softly textured linen for relaxed curtains and domestic upholstery.

Pairs well with

Elba Spice 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.
