Rock Fabric

Band Flax brings a calm, architectural stripe to the Rock collection, with broad vertical bands in warm flax beige and soft cream. Its lightly textured surface keeps the contrast gentle rather than stark.

About this fabric

The swatch shows wide vertical stripes alternating between a warm, taupe-leaning flax beige and a pale creamy tone. The stripes have softly irregular edges, giving the linear design a more relaxed, handcrafted appearance than a sharply printed pattern. A fine fleckled texture is visible across both shades, with the lighter bands catching the light more openly. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification for this fabric.

How to use it

The warm flax ground suits relaxed upholstery such as an armchair, headboard or bench, while the cream bands can be echoed with ivory linens and pale oak. Keep surrounding colours quiet to preserve the swatch’s soft tonal contrast.

Use the warm flax-and-cream stripes on relaxed upholstery, pairing them with natural woods and soft neutral plains.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Band Flax without fighting it. 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.
