About this fabric

Catalogued as a fabric from Zinc Textile’s Ventus Sheers collection, Glisten Linen has the fine, lightweight appearance associated with window dressing. The colour sits between pale taupe and warm grey, giving the surface a gentle depth rather than a flat cream finish. Subtle vertical fibres run through the weave, creating a lightly irregular texture that becomes more visible where the light moves across the swatch.

How to use it

Use this warm greige colourway for full-height curtains in rooms with stone, oatmeal or softly painted walls. Its restrained vertical texture also suits layered sheers, where it can soften daylight without adding a strong motif.

A softly luminous greige sheer for calm, understated window treatments and layered natural interiors.

Pairs well with

Glisten 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.
