About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen and shown here with a plain, no-repeat surface, Flynn Pale Flax has the easy, lightly slubbed look of a true linen cloth. The colour sits in a warm pale flax beige, with just enough cream in the ground to keep it bright without feeling stark. At approximately 139cm wide, it offers a useful breadth for curtains, loose covers or simple upholstery projects. The finish feels calm and understated, with the weave giving the surface a soft textural depth rather than a flat solid block of colour.

How to use it

Use this pale flax shade to soften darker woods, linen upholstery and neutral drapery schemes. It works especially well where you want a warm, natural backdrop that feels light rather than stark.

A quiet natural linen for pared-back schemes and softly tailored rooms.

Pairs well with

Flynn Pale 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.
