About this fabric

Woven in Italy from 100% polyester, Baltic Mole is supplied as a drapes-only fabric with a generous 300cm width, making it especially practical for large window drops and seamless curtain work. The cloth reads as a muted taupe-brown with a slightly cool undertone, so the colour feels grounded rather than warm or sandy. Its plain weave and light-reflective softness give the surface a quiet, even appearance that sits neatly in pleats. At 243 grams per linear metre and 81 grams per square metre, it has enough body to hang well while still looking fluid and understated.

How to use it

Use this tone for floor-to-ceiling curtains where you want a refined neutral that won’t fight with timber, stone, or darker upholstery. It pairs well with chalky whites, smoky greys, and deep olive accents for a composed, layered scheme.

A wide-width neutral that gives curtains a calm, tailored finish.

Pairs well with

Baltic Mole 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.
