About this fabric

Flynn Vintage Blue from the Flynn Linen collection by Colefax and Fowler is woven in 100% linen and measures approximately 139cm wide. With a repeat of V 0cm / H 0cm approx, it presents as a plain cloth rather than a patterned design. The shade reads as a muted, cool vintage blue with a gently faded quality, and the weave shows a fine, breathable texture across the surface. The overall finish feels relaxed and authentic, making it an easy fabric to use where a quieter blue is wanted.

How to use it

Use this blue on upholstery where you want a softened, lived-in feel, or hang it at the window for a crisp but understated curtain. It pairs especially well with pale oak, chalky whites and deeper navy accents.

A soft, versatile blue linen that brings an easy, collected feel to both seating and curtains.

Pairs well with

Flynn Vintage Blue 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.
