Foss Dove

Foss Dove is a softly diffused dove grey linen with a calm, understated finish. The plain weave gives it a clean, natural look that feels light rather than stark.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, Foss Dove has a subtle slub and dry handle that you can see in the gentle texture of the cloth. The colour sits in a pale, cool grey with a hint of warmth, reading as an easy neutral rather than a hard silver. With no repeat and an approximate width of 138cm, it is straightforward to work into both loose drapery and relaxed upholstery schemes. The restrained tone and plain surface make this a versatile choice when you want a fabric that supports the room without drawing attention to itself.

How to use it

Use this dove grey on Roman blinds, relaxed curtains or tailored cushions for a fresh, layered neutral scheme. It pairs particularly well with chalky whites, pale oak and deeper charcoal accents.

A quiet neutral linen that works beautifully across upholstery and curtains.

Pairs well with

Foss Dove 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.
