Foss Ash Grey

Foss Linen II FabricF4218-48

Foss Ash Grey is a quietly tailored linen in a cool, soft grey with a lightly mottled, natural surface. The close weave gives it a dry, matte look that feels calm and understated rather than stark.

About this fabric

Part of the Foss Linen II collection by Colefax and Fowler, this fabric is 100% Linen and measures approximately 138cm wide, with a vertical and horizontal repeat of 0cm. The swatch reads as a pale ash grey with a faintly warm, stone-like cast, lifted by the subtle texture of the linen weave. Its surface has a clean, breathable feel and the colour sits evenly across the cloth, making the finish look refined and quietly natural. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Foss Ash Grey on relaxed curtains, tailored cushions or simple upholstery where a pale neutral is needed without looking cold. Its muted grey tone pairs especially well with oak, black accents and soft white walls.

A calm neutral linen that works beautifully with timber, chalky paint and textured upholstery.

Pairs well with

Foss Ash Grey 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.
