About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen and measuring approximately 138cm wide, Foss Silver has a simple, no-repeat structure that reads as quietly refined rather than decorative. The swatch shows a pale silver-grey with a cool cast and a lightly mottled linen grain that softens the overall effect. Its dry, even texture catches the light gently, giving the cloth a subtle freshness without any shine. With no pattern repeat to manage, it is an easy choice for tailored upholstery, blinds or relaxed curtains where the cloth itself is the feature.

How to use it

Use Foss Silver to bring a cool, restrained note to contemporary seating or lined curtains. It pairs especially well with chalky whites, black accents and pale oak, where the silver tone reads crisp rather than cold.

A quietly versatile silvered linen that works across tailored upholstery and pared-back curtains.

Pairs well with

Foss Silver 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.
