About this fabric

This fabric is catalogued as part of Mark Alexander’s Timeless Linen Sheers collection. The photographed colour sits between warm ivory and soft grey, with a muted depth that keeps it lighter and gentler than a conventional beige. Fine horizontal and vertical threads create subtle cloudy lines across the surface, while the open-looking weave allows the shade to catch light softly. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification data.

How to use it

Use Billow Natural as relaxed sheer curtains where its pale greige tone can soften daylight without introducing a strong colour statement. It pairs naturally with chalky whites, warm timber and understated stone shades.

A softly textured natural greige sheer for calm, light-filtering window treatments.

Pairs well with

Billow Natural 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.
