About this fabric

This 300gsm fabric has a closely textured, low-contrast surface rather than a defined printed motif, so the colour reads as gently mottled from a distance. The mink taupe sits between soft brown and warm grey, with shadowed areas adding depth without making the cloth appear busy. At 144cm wide, with a 35m standard length and zero vertical or horizontal pattern repeat, it is straightforward to plan across upholstered and drapery applications. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Alvar Mink to upholster a lounge chair, headboard or tailored sofa where its grey-brown neutrality can soften stronger woods and warmer schemes. It also suits full-length curtains or roman blinds when a room needs gentle depth without a visible pattern.

A versatile mid-weight textile whose subdued mink taupe brings quiet depth to upholstery and softly tailored window treatments.

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.
