Flax Fabric

Flax White is a quiet, near-white colourway with a gentle warmth visible across its softly textured surface. The close-up shows a plain fabric with subtle tonal movement rather than a printed motif.

About this fabric

This swatch reads as a pale ivory-off-white, softer and warmer than a stark optic white. A fine woven grain and faint vertical tonal variation give the surface understated depth while keeping the overall appearance clean. The low-contrast texture catches the light delicately, creating a calm, matte impression. With no performance or composition specifications supplied, its suitability should be confirmed against the intended upholstery or drapery application.

How to use it

Use Flax White to keep a room light and relaxed, particularly alongside natural timber, warm stone or softly contrasting neutrals. Its gentle ivory tone can also provide a quiet backdrop for stronger colour in cushions, furniture or artwork.

A softly textured off-white with a natural, understated look for light upholstery or relaxed window treatments.

Pairs well with

Flax White 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.
