About this fabric

The close, even weave is enlivened by delicate vertical lines and slight tonal variation, giving the surface a restrained tactile quality. Faint taupe-beige threads add depth to the near-cream ground without creating a visible pattern. No composition, width, rub-test or other performance specification is supplied for this colourway, and the supplied record notes no performance features. In the image, the cloth reads as a versatile, quietly textured mid-weight suitable for either upholstery or drapery.

How to use it

Pair this pale flax-beige with warm white, chalk, natural oak and softly weathered timber for an airy, understated scheme. Its subtle vertical texture can add depth to plain seating or fall quietly at a window without competing with patterned furnishings.

Use this quietly textured flax-beige cloth to soften upholstery, curtains or blinds in light neutral rooms.

Blend 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.
