About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, Flynn Marine Blue has a natural, dry handle and a subtle slub that is visible across the cloth. The colour sits in a muted marine register rather than a strong navy, reading as blue-grey with a cool, softened depth. With an approximate width of 139cm and no visible repeat, it is straightforward to pattern match for full-coverage use. The Q 8 + T 3 care code and √BM fire code make it a practical library linen for interiors where a composed, textile-led finish is wanted.

How to use it

This shade suits smart slipcovers, tailored cushions, and curtains where a cooler blue note is needed without sharp contrast. Pair it with chalky whites, pale oak, or weathered metal for a restrained coastal or classic scheme.

A cool, versatile linen blue that works cleanly on tailored upholstery or relaxed curtains.

Pairs well with

Flynn Marine Blue 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.
