Mercury Linen is a cool greige woven fabric marked with a finely drawn, angular maze pattern. Its softly mottled surface gives the pale taupe ground gentle depth while keeping the overall impression light and composed.

About this fabric

The close-set geometric lines form a small repeating maze, visible in a muted taupe-grey against the lighter greige background. At 330 gsm, the fabric has a substantial mid-weight presence suited to both upholstery and drapery. Its usable width is 137 cm, with a compact 3 cm vertical repeat and 2.8 cm horizontal repeat that allow the pattern to remain controlled across larger areas. The low-contrast colour pairing and fine woven texture give Mercury Linen a tailored, quietly architectural character.

How to use it

Use Mercury Linen on a streamlined armchair, headboard or bench where its cool greige tone can temper warmer timber and leather. It also suits full-length curtains in neutral rooms, where the small angular repeat adds structure without becoming dominant.

A versatile cool greige woven with a discreet angular pattern for tailored upholstery or calm window treatments.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Mercury Linen without fighting it. 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.
