About this fabric

The 244gsm cloth is woven with an irregular grid effect: fine darker threads interrupt the pale mocha ground in uneven horizontal and vertical marks. Its restrained mauve-grey undertone keeps the colour cooler and more nuanced than a straightforward brown, while the close texture catches the light without becoming glossy. At 280cm wide, it offers generous coverage for either upholstery or drapery, with a 36cm vertical and 35cm horizontal pattern repeat. The standard length is 30m.

How to use it

Pair this muted mocha-mauve colourway with warm timber, mushroom neutrals and aged metal, using its broken grid texture on a relaxed sofa or generous curtains where the soft tonal variation can be read across a wider surface.

Use this softly weathered mocha-mauve weave to add quiet depth to upholstery, cushions or full-length curtains.

Impulse Mocha 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.
