About this fabric

Woven in 85% polyester and 15% linen, this fabric has the dry, lightly striated character you can see in the cloth, with fine vertical slubs that soften the overall grey-beige colour. The plain surface keeps the focus on the subtle texture rather than pattern, making the shade feel muted and versatile rather than stark. At 325 cm wide, it is designed for curtaining and suits generous drops where a continuous, elegant fall is preferred. Martindale rub test is N/A, which aligns with its specified use as a curtain fabric rather than upholstery.

How to use it

The restrained wisp tone works well in rooms that need light control without a heavy visual statement, especially alongside pale timber, stone, or softly painted walls. Pair it with deeper taupe or charcoal accents if you want the neutral ground to feel more tailored.

A wide-width neutral that reads calm and understated with a softly textural finish.

Xtra Wide Melita Wisp 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.
