Flynn Red

Name: Flynn Red
Brand: Colefax and Fowler
SKU: F4890-33

Flynn Red is a warm, softened red linen with a visible crosshatch of natural yarn texture. The colour reads as a muted rose-red rather than a bright primary red, giving it a quiet, tailored feel.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen and measuring approximately 139cm wide, Flynn Red has the relaxed surface character you expect from a plain linen cloth. The image shows a fine, even weave with slight slubs and tonal variation, which soften the red into a dusty, heritage-inspired shade. With no repeat to interrupt the surface, it has a clean, calm look that suits both upholstery and window treatments. The Q 8 + T 3 care code and √BM fire code make it a practical choice for interiors where an honest textile finish is wanted.

How to use it

Use this muted red to bring warmth to a panelled study, dining chair, or roman blind without overwhelming the room. It pairs especially well with warm woods, brass, and aged neutrals that echo its dusty depth.

A versatile linen red with a soft, lived-in finish that works beautifully across upholstery and drapery.

Pairs well with

Flynn Red 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.
