About this fabric

From Colefax and Fowler’s Foss Linen II collection, this fabric is woven in 100% linen and has no visible repeat, making the surface read clean and uninterrupted. The 138cm approximate width gives it practical flexibility for both fitted and looser schemes. In this colourway, the petrol tone is subdued rather than bright, with a slightly mineral quality that keeps it elegant and easy to place. The linen weave shows a gentle slub and a dry hand, so the finish feels relaxed but still polished. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Foss Petrol where you want colour with restraint: it would work well on tailored curtains, simple blinds or upholstery in a room with oak, stone or pale plaster. Its cool depth pairs especially well with chalky neutrals and brass details.

A cool petrol linen that works neatly across upholstery and curtains.

Pairs well with

Foss Petrol 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.
