About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, Flinton Natural is a plain fabric with no visible repeat and an approximate width of 136cm. The cloth reads as a light natural cream with a faintly warm, chalky undertone, and the linen texture gives it a quiet, honest surface rather than a polished sheen. The close weave looks well balanced and versatile, making it suitable for either curtains or light upholstery where a relaxed, breathable handle is wanted. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Flinton Natural to soften larger pieces such as armchairs, benches or full-length curtains, especially where you want a bright but not icy neutral. It pairs neatly with timber, wicker and layered oatmeal textiles, and its soft cream tone helps cooler greys feel warmer.

A quiet neutral linen that layers easily with oak, chalk whites and warmer stone tones.

Pairs well with

Flinton Natural 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.
