Flynn Flax

Flynn Flax is a calm, natural-looking linen with a softly heathered surface and a warm flaxen tone. The plain weave gives it an understated, tactile finish that reads quietly refined.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, Flynn Flax has an approx. 139cm width and a repeat of V 0cm / H 0cm, so the effect is clean and uninterrupted across the surface. The colour sits in a pale flax-cream register, with gentle beige warmth rather than a stark white cast. In the image, the weave shows fine linear slubs and a dry, relaxed texture that gives the cloth subtle movement without any pattern. The Q 8 + T 3 care code and √BM fire code support its use as a practical decorating fabric for both soft furnishings and lighter upholstery schemes.

How to use it

Use Flynn Flax where you want a bright but softened neutral that keeps a room feeling light. It pairs especially well with pale oak, chalk paint finishes and muted stone tones.

A quiet natural neutral that works beautifully across upholstery and curtains.

Pairs well with

Flynn Flax 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.
