Lermitage Linen presents an ornate damask in a quiet taupe-and-ivory colourway. The softened contrast lets the symmetrical floral scrollwork read clearly while retaining a calm, pale character.

About this fabric

This colourway is built around a warm, muted taupe ground with ivory ornament, creating a gently layered neutral rather than a sharp two-tone effect. Large symmetrical damask motifs repeat across the surface, combining stylised floral medallions, curling leaves and fine pointed details. A visible woven grain gives the design tactile definition, while the pale ivory areas catch the light more brightly than the taupe ground. Its balanced pattern and versatile mid-weight appearance make it suitable for both upholstery and drapery.

How to use it

Use the soft taupe ground as a gentle alternative to grey or beige on a statement chair, sofa or pair of curtains. Pair it with ivory, oatmeal and warm timber for a restrained traditional scheme, or introduce aged brass to bring out the pattern’s formal character.

A softly contrasted taupe damask that brings traditional structure to upholstery or drapery without feeling heavy.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Lermitage Linen without fighting it. 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.
