About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen and measuring approximately 138cm wide, Foss Flax has the understated texture you expect from a plain cloth with no visible repeat. The colour is a muted flax beige, sitting between cream and sand with a gentle warmth rather than a yellow cast. In the image, the surface looks dry, lightly mottled and quietly tactile, which gives the cloth a relaxed, lived-in feel. With care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM, it is a practical choice for interiors that need an unshowy natural base.

How to use it

Use this soft beige as a calm upholstery or curtain ground in rooms that rely on texture more than pattern. It works especially well with oak, limewashed walls and deeper accents in olive, charcoal or muted blue.

An easy, linen-rich neutral that layers neatly with timber, stone and painted finishes.

Pairs well with

Foss Flax 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.
