About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, Flynn Delft has a crisp, quietly textural handle and a relaxed finish that suits both upholstery and curtains. The 139cm approx width and 0cm repeat make it a straightforward choice for larger projects without pattern matching. In this colourway, the blue reads cool and softened rather than bright, with a pale haze that lets the linen texture remain visible across the cloth. The result is an easy, understated fabric with a fresh coastal feel and a gentle matt surface.

How to use it

Use Flynn Delft where you want colour without heaviness: it sits neatly with chalk whites, pale oak and brushed nickel. It is especially effective on tailored loose covers, Roman blinds or simple curtains in bright rooms.

A fresh, airy linen blue that works beautifully on relaxed upholstery and simple window treatments.

Pairs well with

Flynn Delft 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.
