Spectrum Mocha

Spectrum FabricCCF0227-23

Spectrum Mocha is a softly shaded taupe-brown textile with a close, rippled weave that gives the otherwise restrained surface gentle movement. Its low-contrast patterning reads as texture rather than a bold motif.

About this fabric

The colour sits between warm taupe and muted mocha brown, with a softened grey cast that keeps it from appearing overly rich or red. Fine tonal undulations are visible across the face, creating a lightly granular surface that changes subtly as the light moves over it. With a usable width of 137 cm and a weight of 271 gsm, it is a versatile mid-weight for both upholstery and drapery. The design has a 36.5 cm vertical repeat and a 34.5 cm horizontal repeat, although the close colour relationship keeps the repeat visually discreet.

How to use it

Use Spectrum Mocha on a relaxed sofa, occasional chair or full-length curtain where its warm taupe depth can sit comfortably with timber, stone and soft cream furnishings. Its understated tonal repeat also works well when a room needs texture without introducing a strong contrast.

The warm mocha-taupe tone and finely rippled surface bring quiet depth to upholstery, curtains and cushions.

Pairs well with

Spectrum 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.
