About this fabric

From the Foss Linen II collection by Colefax and Fowler, this fabric is woven in 100% linen and is approximately 138cm wide, with no visible repeat. The swatch shows a very light pearl white that sits just off bright white, with a gentle warmth that softens the overall look. Its fine weave gives the surface a calm, understated texture rather than a heavy slub or obvious pattern. With care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM, it is a versatile fabric for schemes that need a clean, natural linen handle.

How to use it

Use this pearl colourway to lift darker timbers, painted joinery, or patterned furnishings without adding visual weight. It is especially effective where you want a soft, reflective neutral that still feels natural and tactile.

A calm pearl linen that works beautifully as a quiet base across classic and contemporary rooms.

Pairs well with

Foss Pearl 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.
