About this fabric

The close floral pattern is small in scale and evenly distributed, giving this colourway a fine, lightly textured visual rhythm rather than a bold graphic effect. Its warm ivory base is gently lifted by muted taupe detailing, creating a calm, parchment-like appearance that remains light without looking stark. At 252 gsm and 38 threads per cm, the fabric has a versatile mid-weight handle suited to both upholstery and drapery. It has a 140 cm usable width, a 60 m standard length and a 39 cm vertical by 69 cm horizontal pattern repeat.

How to use it

Use Mallow Linen for relaxed curtains, Roman blinds or occasional upholstery where its warm ivory tone can soften a room without adding strong colour. Pair it with natural wood, chalky neutrals and muted taupe accents to echo the delicate line-drawn foliage.

Use this softly detailed ivory colourway to bring quiet botanical pattern to curtains, cushions or light-use upholstery.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Mallow Linen 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.
