About this fabric

Woven from 100% linen, this 137cm-wide fabric has a fine cross-weave with subtle natural irregularity visible across the cream ground. The colour reads as warm ivory with a delicate, softly chalked quality, making it lighter and gentler than a stronger beige. It is supplied for curtains and cushions, where the quiet weave can bring texture without introducing a prominent pattern. After-care is dry clean only.

How to use it

Use Marietta Cream for full-length curtains in a bright room where its ivory tone can soften daylight, or choose it for cushions alongside warm oak, pale stone and natural woven finishes. Its nearly plain surface also works well as a calm counterpoint to patterned upholstery.

A softly textured pale linen for airy curtains, relaxed cushions and light neutral schemes.

Pairs well with

Marietta Cream 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.
