About this fabric

This Porter & Stone fabric has a 140cm width and an 18cm pattern repeat, with a composition of 95% polyester and 5% lurex. In this colourway, the ground reads as an earthy charcoal grey with warm taupe undertones, while the raised pattern catches the light in a muted antique-gold sheen. The repeating diamond motif feels crisp and ordered, but the metallic thread softens the look and keeps it from feeling too severe. It is a smart, versatile cloth with enough texture and sparkle to lift a scheme without overpowering it.

How to use it

Use Mistral Elephant on a tailored armchair, bench or cushion when you want a darker neutral with a little luminosity. It also works well for curtains in rooms with brass, oak or smoked-metal accents, where the gold flecks can pick up the surrounding finishes.

A refined metallic geometric that adds subtle shimmer to tailored upholstery or elegant curtains.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Mistral Elephant 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.
