About this fabric

The image shows an even plain weave made up of tiny interlaced threads, giving the surface a subtle woven grain rather than a printed pattern. Its pale fossil-grey colour has a softened, mineral quality, avoiding both stark silver and heavy charcoal. The compact texture reads as a versatile mid-weight suitable for upholstery or drapery. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification data.

How to use it

Use this softly mineral grey on a relaxed armchair, sofa or full-length curtain, pairing it with warm oak, chalky whites and muted taupes to bring out its gentle stone undertone.

A quietly textured fossil grey for relaxed upholstery, curtains and layered neutral schemes.

Pairs well with

Linara Fossil 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.
