About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, Flynn White has the breezy, slightly slubby look that gives the surface a gentle sense of movement without introducing a pattern. The colour is a very pale, chalky white rather than a stark optic white, so it reads soft and calm in the light. With a width of approximately 139cm and no repeat, it is straightforward to pattern-match for larger projects and suits both upholstery and drapery use. The Q 8 + T 3 care code and √BM fire code make it a practical choice for considered residential schemes.

How to use it

Use Flynn White to brighten a pared-back interior, especially where you want texture to do the work instead of colour. It pairs neatly with pale oak, limewash tones and linen-upholstered seating for a serene, tailored finish.

A clean white linen that works beautifully for tailored curtains or crisp upholstery pieces.

Pairs well with

Flynn White 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.
