About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, Foss Dark Blue has a small, regular cloth structure with no visible pattern repeat, so the colour and texture are the focus. The 138cm approximate width makes it suitable for both upholstery and drapery applications, while the Q 8 + T 3 care code and √BM fire code are part of the supplied specification. Visually, the shade reads as a muted navy-denim blue rather than a bright marine tone, with a softly matte surface that takes the light gently. That restrained depth gives the fabric a neat, composed look that suits understated interiors.

How to use it

Use this dark blue linen to bring weight and definition to a scheme without introducing shine or pattern. It pairs well with pale timber, chalky neutrals and brushed brass for a crisp but relaxed finish.

A clean, versatile blue linen that works beautifully on relaxed seating or tailored curtains.

Pairs well with

Foss Dark Blue 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.
