About this fabric

The close-up shows a plain, finely woven surface in a muted beige that leans gently warm rather than grey. Small shifts in the weave catch the light, giving the otherwise uniform colour a soft, natural depth. The supplied catalogue records this as a Fabric with no performance features noted. With no composition, width or rub-test data supplied, its suitability here is judged from the visible mid-weight woven appearance.

How to use it

Use this warm flax beige to upholster relaxed seating where a calm, light neutral is wanted, or pair it with natural wood, creamy whites and gently aged finishes. It can also bring a quiet, softly filtered feel to simple drapery.

A softly textured flax beige with an understated, versatile look for relaxed upholstery or light drapery.

Pairs well with

Chelsea 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.
