About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, this fabric has a plain, texture-led look with no visible repeat, creating a clean and versatile surface. The oatmeal shade reads as a warm beige with a gentle creamy cast, softened further by the small, tight weave visible in the swatch. At approximately 136cm wide, it is a practical choice for a range of interior uses, and the Q 8 + T 3 care code and √BM fire code add useful specification detail for scheme planning. The overall effect is relaxed rather than formal, with the natural character of linen kept light and airy.

How to use it

Use this oatmeal colourway on relaxed upholstery, loose covers or simple curtains where you want a pale, natural backdrop. It sits particularly well with pale woods, limewashed finishes and muted clay or stone tones.

A quietly refined linen for calm, natural interiors.

Pairs well with

Flinton Oatmeal 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.
