Foss Linen II FabricF4218-63

Foss Old Rose is a softly muted pink linen with a dry, natural surface and a calm, even appearance. The colour reads as a warm, dusty rose rather than a bright blush.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, Foss Old Rose has the crisp, slightly slubby character you expect from a natural cloth, with a fine plain look and no visible pattern repeat. At approximately 138cm wide, it is a practical furnishing width for both curtains and upholstery projects where a quiet, tonal fabric is needed. The shade sits in a gentle old rose range: warm, pale and subdued, with just enough depth to hold its colour without looking sugary. The specified care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM make it a considered choice for a decorative scheme that needs proper specification as well as softness.

How to use it

Use this dusty rose alongside bleached oak, chalky white and muted taupe for a calm layered interior. It also softens darker timber finishes and brings a gentle warmth to period or contemporary rooms alike.

A gentle old rose linen that brings warmth without overpowering a room.

Pairs well with

Foss Old Rose 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.
