About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen and measuring approximately 138cm wide, Foss Aqua has a simple, cloth-like handle that suits both upholstery and drapery. The swatch shows a muted aqua with a slight grey cast, so it feels more airy than bright and sits comfortably between blue and green. Its plain weave is visible as a fine, regular texture across the surface, giving the colour a gentle softness rather than a flat solid finish. With no repeat and a restrained tone, it is an easy fabric to use across clean-lined seating, cushions or understated curtains. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for this cloth.

How to use it

Use it where you want a cool, coastal note without a strong statement: it pairs neatly with pale oak, chalk white and linen neutrals. The subdued aqua works especially well in daylight, where its soft blue-green depth can read slightly fresher.

A quietly fresh linen that works well on uncomplicated upholstered pieces or airy curtains.

Pairs well with

Foss Aqua 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.
