Oaknut Stripe Flax/Multi

Name: Oaknut Stripe Flax/Multi
Brand: Sanderson
SKU: SAF0399-02

Oaknut Stripe Flax/Multi has a soft flax ground scattered with stylised leafy sprays in oatmeal, taupe and brown. The pattern reads crisp but gently aged, giving the fabric a calm botanical character rather than a high-contrast statement.

About this fabric

This Sanderson fabric from the Arboretum Fabrics collection has a substantial 331 gsm handle and a tightly woven surface with 54 threads per cm, which gives the cloth a refined, structured feel. The 130 cm usable width and 35 m standard roll length make it practical for upholstery projects as well as coordinated soft furnishings. In this colourway, the pale flax background keeps the design light and airy, while the multi-tonal leaf work brings warmth through the nutty browns and soft cream highlights. The 47.9 cm vertical repeat and 43.3 cm horizontal repeat create a generous, repeat-led pattern that feels orderly and decorative on larger pieces.

How to use it

Use this flax-and-multi colourway on an accent chair, banquette or cushions where the leafy repeat can be seen clearly. It sits well with oak finishes, pale putty paint and textured neutrals, adding pattern without making the room feel dark.

Pair with aged brass, oak and natural linens for a quietly tailored country look.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Oaknut Stripe Flax/Multi 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.
