About this fabric

The image shows a regular, tightly packed weave formed from fine pale and slightly darker threads, creating a delicate crosshatched texture rather than a printed pattern. Its warm flax tone is muted and natural, with enough taupe depth to avoid looking stark or chalky. The even surface reads as a versatile mid-weight textile, suitable for either upholstery or drapery based on its visible handle and construction. It is catalogued as a fabric in the Timeless Plains collection, with no performance features noted.

How to use it

Use M650 Flax to soften a room with warm stone, oatmeal or pale timber finishes; its quiet flax-beige tone works particularly well on relaxed seating, cushions and uncomplicated curtains.

Its softly warm flax tone and fine woven texture bring quiet depth to relaxed upholstery, cushions or full-length curtains.

M650 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.
