Linden Dove

Orwell Weaves FabricSAF0211-02

Linden Dove shows a fine, small-scale geometric weave in cool dove and silver-grey tones. The pattern reads crisp and orderly, with a softly textured surface that lifts the light without looking shiny.

About this fabric

This Sanderson fabric from the Orwell Weaves collection is a substantial woven cloth at 570gsm, with a usable width of 136.5 cm and a standard length of 35 m. The tight pattern repeat of 2.9 cm vertically and 2.7 cm horizontally gives the design its precise, tessellated rhythm. In this colourway, the motif sits in layered dove grey and pale stone, so the pattern feels defined but restrained rather than high-contrast. The weave has a tactile, upholstered feel that suits the fabric’s weight and gives the surface a refined, tailored presence.

How to use it

Use Linden Dove on an armchair, banquette or ottoman where the small geometric pattern can be seen up close. Its cool grey palette pairs neatly with pale timbers, charcoal accents and soft white walls.

A cool grey weave that adds quiet pattern without overwhelming a room.

Pairs well with

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