About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, Flynn Sand has the relaxed character you would expect from a plain cloth with no visible repeat. The swatch shows a soft sand-beige ground with a slightly heathered, flax-like texture that catches the light gently rather than shining. At approximately 139cm wide, it is a practical upholstery-and-drapery linen for clean-lined schemes, and the Q 8 + T 3 care code plus √BM fire rating provide useful specification detail for trade use. The overall effect is quiet and natural, with enough warmth to soften pale woods and enough restraint to sit neatly beside deeper neutrals.

How to use it

Use this sand linen to keep a room light but grounded, especially against oak joinery, chalky paint and tan leather. It works particularly well where you want a warm neutral that won’t compete with patterned cushions or textured rugs.

A quietly elegant neutral that layers easily with oak, stone and warmer linens.

Pairs well with

Flynn Sand 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.
