About this fabric

Catalogued as a fabric, Linara Porpoise shows a fine, even weave across the swatch rather than a printed pattern. The cool grey tone is light and restrained, with a silvery cast that keeps it feeling crisp rather than warm or beige. Tiny variations in the crossing yarns create a quiet tactile effect and a softly tailored finish.

How to use it

Use Porpoise grey where a room needs a calm, cool neutral with more texture than a flat solid. It pairs naturally with white, charcoal, pale timber and other muted grey tones across upholstery or simple window treatments.

A softly textured cool grey with a quiet, tailored look for understated upholstery or window treatments.

Pairs well with

Linara Porpoise 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.
