Seen close up, Buran Linen reads as a pale, warm greige with a near-plain field and delicate irregular threads. Its lightly striated surface catches the light softly, keeping the colour airy rather than stark.

About this fabric

Buran Linen is a pale greige—warmer than a cool grey, yet quieter than a traditional beige—with a softly mottled, linen-like surface. Subtle vertical and horizontal slubs break up the otherwise plain field, giving the cloth restrained tactile depth rather than a printed pattern. Catalogued as a Fabric in Zinc Textile’s Ventus Sheers collection, its fine, lightweight-looking appearance makes it most naturally suited to drapery. No composition, width or performance figures are supplied.

How to use it

Use this pale warm greige at the window where a calm, softly illuminated backdrop is wanted. It pairs naturally with chalky whites, pale oak and muted stone tones without introducing a strong colour contrast.

A pale, warm greige sheer with a lightly slubbed surface for soft, understated window treatments.

Pairs well with

Buran Linen 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.
