About this fabric

The fabric’s fine, closely woven texture has a subtle crosshatched grain, giving this light neutral colourway more depth than a flat plain. Its pale greige tone sits between warm ivory and soft stone, while the raised folds catch the light along their edges. Made from 90% linen and 10% nylon, Volterra Linen is approximately 137cm wide and suitable for curtains and fixed upholstery. It is graded for Contract and General Domestic use, with dry-clean after-care.

How to use it

Pair this pale greige colourway with chalky whites, warm oak and muted stone tones for a quiet, layered scheme. Its versatile mid-weight handle makes it suitable for softly falling curtains as well as relaxed fixed upholstery or loose covers.

Use this softly textured greige weave to bring calm, natural warmth to curtains, seating and loose covers.

Pairs well with

Volterra Linen 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.
