About this fabric

The close weave gives Linara Kudu a neat, tailored appearance, while tiny variations in the yarn prevent the surface from looking flat. Its colour sits between taupe, grey and dusty mauve, creating a restrained depth rather than a strong contrast. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification; visually, this versatile textile reads as suitable for both upholstery and drapery. The understated surface works particularly well where a calm plain is preferred over a pronounced motif.

How to use it

Use Linara Kudu to soften charcoal, stone and warm white schemes, or pair its mauve undertone with aged timber and brushed metal. On a sofa, headboard or full-length curtain, the fine weave adds texture without introducing a visible pattern.

A finely woven mauve-taupe plain that brings quiet warmth to upholstery, curtains and layered neutral schemes.

Pairs well with

Linara Kudu 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.
