Flynn Terracotta

Flynn Linen FabricF4890-36

Flynn Terracotta is a quietly earthy linen with a soft, powdery terracotta cast and a fine, natural-looking weave. The colour reads warm and sun-baked rather than bright, giving the surface a calm, lived-in character.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, Flynn Terracotta has a clean plain appearance with no visible repeat, so the texture and colour do the work rather than any pattern. The approx. 139cm width makes it practical for a range of interior applications, while the Q 8 + T 3 care code and √BM fire code support specification-led use. In the image, the shade sits between muted clay and softened rose, with a gentle crosshatch from the linen weave that keeps it from feeling flat. It has enough body to work well on upholstered pieces, yet the cloth still reads light and breathable enough for curtains and soft furnishings.

How to use it

Use this colourway to warm up pale plaster, oak and stone interiors, where its dusty terracotta tone adds depth without shouting. It also pairs neatly with olive, tobacco and chalky neutrals for a layered, Mediterranean feel.

A warm earthy linen that brings a gentle sun-baked tone to both relaxed upholstery and soft drapery.

Pairs well with

Flynn Terracotta 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.
