Name: Rosslyn Natural
Brand: Colefax and Fowler
SKU: F4220-03

Rosslyn Natural is a softly pared-back plain linen with a calm, creamy warmth that reads almost undyed in the cloth. The surface has the gentle slub and matte character you expect from linen, giving it a relaxed, lived-in feel.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, Rosslyn Natural has a subtle, dry handle and an easy, unforced drape that suits both loose upholstery and soft furnishings. The fabric is 136cm wide approx. and has no repeat, making it straightforward to work with for plain schemes and tailored pieces alike. In this colourway the tone sits between cream and warm beige, with a faint oatmeal cast that feels brighter in daylight and more cocooning in softer light. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Rosslyn Natural where you want a warm neutral that won’t fight with other textures: it sits beautifully beside pale oak, stone, and chalky painted finishes. Its gentle linen depth makes it especially good for relaxed curtains, cushions or a simple upholstered armchair.

A quiet neutral that layers easily with painted timber, pale woods and warmer stone tones.

Pairs well with

Rosslyn Natural 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.
