About this fabric

The colour sits between warm ivory and light natural flax, with subtle tonal shifts visible across the surface. A fine vertical grain and delicate slub-like texture create a softly tactile appearance while keeping the overall design plain and calm. As no performance features are noted in the supplied specification data, the fabric should be assessed against the demands of the intended upholstery or drapery project.

How to use it

Use Motion Flax to keep a room light and natural, pairing its warm pale beige tone with oak, chalky whites and soft stone shades. It also works as a quiet textural counterpoint to darker timber or earthy accents.

A softly textured flax beige with a calm, natural look for relaxed upholstery, curtains or coordinating panels.

Pairs well with

Motion 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.
