About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, Flynn Old Pink has a natural slubbed texture and an almost chalky, matte finish that softens the colour across the cloth. The fabric is approximately 139cm wide, with a vertical and horizontal repeat of 0cm, so it reads as a calm plain rather than a patterned design. This colourway carries a gentle powder-pink cast with a touch of beige warmth, giving it an easy, aged feel that suits both tailored upholstery and loose drapery. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use this soft pink linen to bring warmth to pale schemes, especially with weathered oak, stone, or parchment neutrals. It also layers well with deeper rose, taupe, or muted green accents when you want a room to feel calm but not cold.

A gentle blush linen that works beautifully as either relaxed upholstery or elegant curtains.

Pairs well with

Flynn Old Pink 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.
