Shimmer Mocha

Shimmer Mocha has a pale, warm mocha tone with a softly reflective surface that shifts gently across the close woven texture. Its near-solid appearance is enriched by fine, irregular slub-like marks visible throughout the swatch.

About this fabric

The surface combines warm taupe, oatmeal and muted beige threads, creating a softly mottled finish rather than a flat plain. Light catches the uneven weave in delicate flecks, giving the mocha colour subtle depth without introducing a strong motif. At 562 gsm, the fabric has a substantial handle suited to upholstery. It has a 137 cm usable width, a 40 m standard length, and supplied pattern repeats of 72 cm vertically and 34.5 cm horizontally.

How to use it

Use Shimmer Mocha on a sofa, headboard or occasional chair to bring a warm, quietly luminous neutral into the room. Balance its pale taupe depth with ivory, walnut, aged bronze or darker brown accents.

Use this warm, softly reflective mocha on upholstered seating where its substantial woven texture can be appreciated.

Pairs well with

Shimmer 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.
