Rue Linen FabricSAF0347-19

Rue Linen Dove is a quietly washed blue with a soft, airy presence and a lightly textured linen look. The plain surface reads relaxed and understated, with gentle tonal movement rather than a flat solid.

About this fabric

This Sanderson fabric is a plain cloth with no vertical or horizontal repeat, making the subtle woven texture the focus of the design. At 241gsm and 139 cm wide, it sits in a versatile mid-weight range that lends itself well to both upholstery and curtains. The dove blue colouring is muted and cool, with a soft grey cast that keeps it calm rather than bright. The finish has a dry, natural handle and a lightly cross-woven appearance that catches the light in a very restrained way.

How to use it

Use it for relaxed upholstery, loose covers or simple curtains where you want a soft blue that feels quiet rather than coastal. It pairs especially well with chalky whites, pale oak and deeper navy accents.

A calm, versatile blue that works beautifully across pared-back interiors.

Pairs well with

Rue Linen Dove 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.
