About this fabric

The abstract, marbled design has a distinctive low-contrast base punctuated by charcoal-grey pools and softly blurred taupe bands. Its fluid folds and subtle surface variation make the colourway read as atmospheric rather than sharply patterned. Canyon Linen is catalogued as a fabric, with no composition, width or performance features supplied in the specification. In this image, the warm neutral balance sits comfortably alongside cream upholstery, woven beige surfaces and darker grey flooring.

How to use it

Use Canyon Linen for full-length curtains where its warm taupe ground can soften a neutral scheme, while the charcoal clouding adds depth against cream upholstery and pale walls. Pair it with dark metal or smoked-grey accents to echo the deeper marks in the pattern.

Use its smoky taupe, cream and charcoal movement for softly tailored curtains in a refined neutral room.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Canyon 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.
