Rue Linen Duck Egg reads as a gentle, airy blue-green with a linen-matt finish and a softly varied surface. The plain weave gives it an understated, relaxed look that feels fresh rather than bright.

About this fabric

This Sanderson fabric has a usable width of 139 cm and a substantial 241 gsm weight, making it a versatile textile for both upholstery and drapery. With no vertical or horizontal pattern repeat, the cloth relies on its natural woven texture rather than motif. The colour is a cool duck egg teal, lightly muted and evenly softened across the surface, so it catches the light with a calm, chalky lift. Its 84 threads per cm give the plain weave a neat, closely worked handle that still reads relaxed and tactile.

How to use it

Use this duck egg tone to soften painted wood, pale oak and brushed brass, or pair it with crisp white for a fresher coastal scheme. It also sits well alongside deeper blue-greens and sand shades where you want a quiet wash of colour rather than a strong statement.

A calm duck egg tone that works beautifully across upholstery and curtains alike.

Rue Linen Duck Egg 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.
