About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen and measuring approximately 138cm wide, Foss Navy has a clean, plain appearance with no visible repeat, giving it a calm and uninterrupted surface. The colour reads as a cool, saturated navy with a slightly softened depth rather than a bright blue, and the weave adds a subtle linear texture across the cloth. Its linen finish keeps the shade looking natural and matte, with just enough grain to stop the colour from feeling flat. The Q 8 + T 3 care code and √BM fire code make it a practical choice for considered interior use.

How to use it

Use this navy as a grounding fabric on a sofa, bedroom headboard or simple curtains where the colour can hold its depth. It pairs especially well with white, oak and pale stone for a crisp, balanced scheme.

A classic deep navy that feels crisp and versatile in either tailored upholstery or relaxed drapery.

Foss Navy 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.
