About this fabric

Xtra Wide Melita Linen from Warwick is a plain curtaining fabric with a generous 325 cm width, ideal for broad drops and reduced joins. The 85% polyester and 15% linen composition gives the surface a crisp but natural linen character, visible here as a fine, even weave with a subtle dry texture. In this colourway, the shade sits between taupe and olive, with a restrained warmth that feels grounded rather than golden. The finish is understated and versatile, making the cloth read as smart and quietly relaxed rather than decorative.

How to use it

Use this muted olive taupe for full-height curtains, sheers layered behind, or pared-back Roman blinds where you want a natural, tailored look. It works especially well alongside oak, clay, stone and aged brass.

A quietly tailored neutral that suits wide, elegant curtains and soft layering.

Pairs well with

Xtra Wide Melita Linen 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.
