Flow Balsam
Flow Fabric
Flow Balsam is a cool, muted teal fabric with a finely mottled surface that gives the colour gentle depth. Its close weave creates a softly textured, almost grain-like appearance across the face.

About this fabric
The fabric combines pale blue-green and deeper balsam-teal flecks in a dense, irregular weave, creating a calm colour with visible tonal movement. Fine threads catch the light unevenly, so the surface shifts subtly between misty teal and deeper green-blue. The close, even construction reads as a versatile mid-weight textile suited to both upholstery and drapery. Its restrained texture adds interest without introducing a strong repeat or prominent motif.
How to use it
Use Flow Balsam to bring a cool, softened teal note to an armchair, sofa or pair of curtains, balancing it with warm timber, chalky neutrals or natural linen. The lightly mottled surface works especially well where a plain colour needs added depth without a bold pattern.
A softly mottled balsam teal weave that brings cool, understated colour to seating, cushions or curtains.

Pairs well with
Flow Balsam 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.
