Baker Lifestyle | Adagio Plain

Adagio Plain does what its name promises: it is the plain-weave option in Baker Lifestyle's Homes & Garden book, meant to sit under or alongside the collection's prints rather than draw attention on its own. Our supplier spec sheet for this particular SKU did not come through in full, so we cannot give you the composition or a rub count, but a plain of this kind is normally chosen for hand and colour rather than for pattern, and that is how we would use it.

We can confirm it is 147 centimetres wide, a touch more generous than most of the book, which helps on wider curtains and single-width blinds. It is supplied in one colourway on our system, recorded by its code rather than a name, so we cannot tell you the exact shade without a sample in hand. We have deliberately not invented a composition or a repeat for this listing; where we do not have a confirmed figure, we leave it out rather than guess.

A plain of this weight typically earns its keep as the quiet partner to a stronger print: curtains in a room where the pattern is on the walls or the sofa, cushions to rest the eye, or a headboard in a bedroom that already has plenty going on. Sold by the half metre; order a sample to see it in your own light and to confirm the hand before you commit yardage to a piece of furniture.

With no repeat to plan for, ordering is straightforward: measure the piece, add a working margin for wastage and turning, and order that total. Because we have not yet confirmed the fibre content, ask your maker to handle a sample before cutting anything structural, and treat the final composition and care details as provisional until Baker Lifestyle's full sheet is back with us.
