Soho Flax is a softly warm, flax-beige textile with a close plain weave and understated tonal variation. Its surface reads natural and quietly tactile rather than stark or completely flat.

About this fabric

The image shows a tightly woven plain construction, with fine vertical and horizontal threads creating a discreet, linen-like texture. Its flax-beige tone sits between soft beige and light taupe, with small shifts in depth where the weave catches the light. The supplied record lists no performance features, composition, width or rub-test information for this fabric. The restrained surface keeps the colourway calm and versatile while preserving enough texture to avoid a bland finish.

How to use it

Use Soho Flax on relaxed upholstery where its warm beige tone can sit alongside oak, painted timber and chalky neutral walls. Pair it with deeper taupe or olive accents to bring out the weave’s subtle tonal depth.

A quietly textured flax-beige plain weave for relaxed, tonal upholstery schemes.

Pairs well with

Soho 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.
