Name: Hester Grey
Brand: Linwood

Hester Grey combines a pale natural linen ground with repeated vertical bands of cool grey foliage. Slim pale yellow lines and softly drawn botanical stems give the stripe a gentle, timeworn character.

About this fabric

The design alternates narrow linear bands with tall grey botanical sprigs, while the light ground keeps the overall colourway airy rather than heavily shaded. Its muted blue-grey leaves contrast with slim warm yellow accents, creating more depth than a plain stripe without becoming bold. Woven in 100% linen at approximately 137cm wide, it is specified for curtains and fixed upholstery. Allow 3% shrinkage; after-care is a delicate wash at 30°C or dry cleaning.

How to use it

Use Hester Grey at full length on relaxed curtains where its cool foliage can soften bright, pale walls, or on fixed upholstery paired with warm ivory, putty and lightly honeyed wood. Its vertical arrangement also suits a chair or bench where the stripe can run upright.

A softly textured linen stripe that brings cool grey foliage and pale warmth to curtains or fixed upholstery.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Hester Grey without fighting it. 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.
