Chalky Linens
A Soft Spring Palette for the Home
Now the clocks have changed, it is officially springtime and the trees of the landscape are wearing their new colours of blossom. It is a wonderfully uplifting time of year after the gloom of winter — soft shades of palest pink and apricot, the green-white of apple blossom and the sharp green of new leaves all evoke a wonderful feeling of wellbeing.
Decorating with this beautiful palette brings the energy of spring into your home — and there is no better fabric for these soft shades than linen.
A natural fibre that is surprisingly strong and hard wearing, linen can come in many forms. It takes colour beautifully — from soft blossom tones to gentle neutrals — bringing depth, texture and quiet character into a space.
“Soft colour, natural texture, timeless appeal.”

Our bestselling Brera Lino is a cult classic for a reason, with its gently tumbled, washed and washable finish in an extensive palette of colours.
It drapes beautifully, making it ideal for curtains and blinds, while also being durable enough for upholstery, cushions and everyday use. Linen’s natural weight and movement allow it to fall softly. Used on its own or paired with printed linen designs, it brings softness and depth to a scheme.
“Effortless drape with a relaxed, lived-in elegance.”

For a softer, floatier feeling, our Valloire wide-width pure linen offers a semi-sheer, lighter weight with a slightly crisper finish — perfect for creating light-filled spaces and layering at windows.
If you are looking for added practicality, linen blends such as Melzo combine linen with other fibres for a softer handle and increased durability, making them especially suitable for busy interiors.
“Pure linen for lightness, blends for softness and versatility.”

For larger windows or seamless curtains, wide-width linens such as Valloire are ideal, allowing for fewer joins and a more continuous, elegant finish.
Heavier linens like Brera Lino offer a fuller drape and greater structure, while lighter, semi-sheer linens create softness and movement, gently filtering light throughout the day.
“Designed to move beautifully with the light.”

Choosing the right linen fabric depends on both function and feel. For curtains and blinds, lighter linens allow the design to move beautifully with the light, while more structured weaves can create a fuller, more tailored look. For upholstery or decorative accents, consider scale, texture and how the linen will sit within your overall scheme.
