About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen and measuring approximately 138cm wide, Foss Marine Blue has a plain, non-patterned appearance with no visible repeat. The surface shows the natural slub and crisp texture expected of linen, which keeps the finish looking relaxed rather than glossy. Its blue reads light and softened, with a slightly misty marine depth that feels cooler than a true sky blue. The restrained tone makes the fabric feel versatile and easy to layer into both classic and contemporary interiors.

How to use it

Use this blue on loose covers, cushions or simple curtains where the airy colour can lift a room without overpowering it. It pairs well with chalk white, pale oak and weathered brass for a calm coastal palette.

A cool, easy linen blue that works beautifully in calm, tailored schemes.

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.
