Linara Fabric

Linara Chinchilla is a soft, cool grey-taupe plain weave with a finely textured surface. Its restrained colour shifts subtly between grey and taupe across the cloth, giving the swatch a calm, understated depth.

About this fabric

The close-up shows an even woven structure rather than a printed motif, with tiny tonal variations that keep the surface from appearing flat. Chinchilla has a muted, slightly cool cast, softened by its taupe undertone rather than reading as stark grey. The texture is fine and quietly tactile, making this catalogued fabric a versatile choice for upholstery or drapery. No additional performance or specification data is supplied for this exact colourway.

How to use it

Pair Chinchilla with chalky whites, pale oak and soft stone for a light, quiet scheme, or use it against deeper charcoal and walnut to bring out its cool grey depth. Its understated weave works especially well on relaxed seating, cushions or simple curtains.

Use this muted grey-taupe weave to bring calm, understated texture to upholstery, curtains or cushions.

Pairs well with

Linara Chinchilla 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.
