About this fabric

This colourway reads as a cool, misty grey with a subtle woven texture that softens the light rather than reflecting it sharply. The plain design keeps the focus on the fabric’s fine cross-weave and the relaxed, slightly dry linen character visible in the swatch. Made from 80% polyester and 20% linen, it is specified for curtaining and comes in an extra-wide 300 cm width, making it especially practical for broad windows and reduced joins. With no repeat and no martindale rub test noted, it is a straightforward decorative cloth rather than an upholstery-led fabric.

How to use it

Its pale grey tone works beautifully in calm, modern rooms where you want lightness without white glare. Pair it with oak, chalky paint colours, and textured upholstery for an easy layered scheme.

Use as a quiet, airy curtain cloth that brightens a room without feeling stark.

Pairs well with

Xtra Wide Rhodes Optic 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.
