About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, Flynn Silver has a natural, lightly slubby texture that reads clearly across the surface without any visible repeat. The colour is a soft silver-grey with a cool undertone, sitting between pale stone and misty grey rather than appearing stark or icy. At approx. 139cm wide, it offers a practical cloth for a range of interior uses, and the plain construction keeps the focus on the subtle variation within the weave. The overall effect is smart and understated, with enough character to bring depth to a scheme without demanding attention.

How to use it

Use this shade for relaxed upholstered pieces, tailored blinds or simple curtains where you want light to sit softly on the fabric. It works especially well with whitewashed timber, graphite accents and gentle blues or taupes.

A cool, quiet linen that layers easily with chalky whites, oak and polished metals.

Pairs well with

Flynn Silver 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.
