Xtra Wide Lysander Fabric

Xtra Wide Lysander Flax reads as a quiet, soft grey taupe with a gently mottled plain surface. The extra-wide cloth gives the fabric a broad, unbroken look that feels calm and understated.

About this fabric

This colourway has a muted flax tone that sits between grey and beige, with a cool-warm balance that softens in the light. The plain pattern repeat keeps the surface visually clean, while the fine, lightly textured weave adds subtle movement rather than a flat finish. Woven in 100% polyester and made at a generous 305 cm width, it is designed for curtaining and works especially well where a broad drop is wanted with fewer joins. The Martindale rub test is not applicable here, which reflects its specified use as a curtain fabric rather than upholstery.

How to use it

Use it for floor-to-ceiling curtains where the broad width can show off the fabric’s calm, uninterrupted surface. Its soft taupe-grey tone pairs neatly with pale oak, chalk whites and warm stone finishes.

A calm wide-width cloth that suits understated curtains and soft, layered interiors.

Pairs well with

Xtra Wide Lysander Flax 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.
