What to Pair With Flax Straw

  • Muted teal or sage - a cool, balancing accent.
  • Cream and ivory - keeps the warmth soft.
  • Deep walnut or teak - grounds the glow.

Repeating a pairing across connected spaces ties the home together.

Lighting & Finish

Lighting: Flax Straw glows under warm light and warms further in afternoon sun, while north light keeps it soft.

Finish: Matte in living rooms and bedrooms for a soft, premium feel; washable satin in kitchens, bathrooms and hallways.

Before You Paint

Paint a sample on two or three walls first, since amber tones shift with the light through the day. Two thin coats give the most even result; save some paint for touch-ups in high-traffic spots.
