Xtra Wide Melita Fabric

About this fabric

This Oyster colourway has a muted taupe base with a cool grey cast, and the linen-rich weave shows a subtle crosshatch that catches the light gently rather than brightly. The cloth is specified as 85% Polyester, 15% Linen, giving it a practical body with the natural look of linen. At 325 cm wide, it is especially well suited to wide, uninterrupted curtains and other large-window drapes. With a plain pattern repeat and no martindale rub test noted, it is clearly positioned as a curtaining fabric rather than an upholstery cloth.

How to use it

Use this oyster taupe to soften larger windows in rooms with pale stone, putty, or driftwood tones. It pairs neatly with warm neutrals and matte finishes for a relaxed, refined scheme.

A calm oyster taupe that layers easily with pale neutrals and warm timber finishes.

Pairs well with

Xtra Wide Melita Oyster 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.
