About this fabric

Catalogued as a fabric in Kirkby Design’s 4d Upholstery collection, Feel Flax has a closely woven appearance with narrow, irregular vertical striations. The warm beige tone is softened by lighter threads, creating a natural flax effect rather than a flat block colour. Its restrained stripe reads as fine-scale and understated, while the uneven texture adds visible depth across the surface. No composition, width, rub-test or additional performance specification has been supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use this warm flax-beige colourway on a tailored armchair, dining seat or sofa where its fine vertical texture can add quiet interest without dominating the room. Pair it with chalky whites, pale oak and other softly warm neutrals to echo the lighter threads in the weave.

The warm flax-beige ground and broken vertical texture bring a softly tactile, relaxed finish to upholstered pieces.

Pairs well with

Feel 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.
