Flynn Linen FabricF4890-03

Flynn Ivory is a quietly elegant ivory cream linen with a clean, even plain surface. Its soft, pale tone reads fresh rather than stark, with just enough natural texture to keep it from feeling flat.

About this fabric

Flynn Ivory from the Flynn Linen collection is woven in 100% linen and measures approximately 139cm wide, with a vertical and horizontal repeat of 0cm. The cloth in this swatch appears as a warm ivory with a gentle cream cast, light enough to brighten a room but softened by the natural slub and matte handle of linen. Because the pattern is plain and the surface texture is restrained, the colour carries the design, giving it a calm, tailored look rather than a decorative one. The care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use this shade where you want an airy, forgiving neutral that still feels refined, especially on slip covers, loose upholstery or full-length curtains. It sits comfortably with oak, painted timber and layered whites, and its soft warmth keeps pale schemes from looking cold.

A clean, quiet linen that works well as a calm neutral across tailored upholstery or soft drapery.

Pairs well with

Flynn Ivory 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.
