Name: Flax Buff
Brand: Kirkby Design

Flax Fabric

Flax Buff is a softly warm beige textile with the quiet, natural character of undyed flax. Its surface appears almost plain from a distance, while the close image reveals a fine woven grain and subtle tonal variation.

About this fabric

The colour sits between pale sand and warm buff, giving the swatch a gentle depth without strong contrast or visible pattern. Fine vertical and horizontal threads form a restrained plain weave, with a lightly tactile surface that catches the light unevenly. The supplied details list no performance features or further construction specifications for this fabric. This calm, mid-toned colourway works across upholstery and drapery applications where a softly textured neutral is wanted.

How to use it

Use Flax Buff to soften a relaxed sitting room on an upholstered chair, sofa or blind, pairing its warm flax-beige tone with chalky whites, pale timber and muted olive or clay accents.

Its softly warm buff tone and fine, even weave bring understated texture to relaxed upholstery or simple window treatments.

Pairs well with

Flax Buff 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.
