About this fabric

Catalogued as a fabric, Wave Flax has a light flax-beige colour that sits between soft beige and warm greige. Closely spaced vertical lines give the face a subtly irregular woven appearance, while delicate tonal shifts add depth across the pale ground. The fine texture catches the light gently rather than appearing glossy or strongly contrasted. From its fine, fluid-looking surface, this colourway reads most naturally as a drapery-weight cloth.

How to use it

Use Wave Flax for full-length curtains where its pale flax-beige tone can soften a room without introducing a strong colour statement. Pair it with warm white, pale timber and lightly textured upholstery for a calm, natural scheme.

Its fine vertical texture and pale flax tone suit softly gathered curtains and understated window treatments.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Wave 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.
