Mistral Sand

Misc Fabric

Mistral Sand shows a compact geometric weave in a warm sand ground with mocha-brown motif detail. A subtle lurex thread lifts the pattern with a quiet, dry shimmer rather than a glossy sheen.

About this fabric

This Porter & Stone fabric is woven in 95% polyester and 5% lurex, with a 140cm width and an 18cm pattern repeat. The design reads as a small, regular diamond motif, and in this colourway the contrast sits in earthy sand and cocoa tones rather than high-contrast black and white. The finish feels textured and slightly rustic, with the metallic thread catching the light just enough to keep the surface lively. It is a versatile mid-weight look that can work comfortably for either upholstery or drapery depending on the room and the scale of the pattern.

How to use it

Use Mistral Sand on an accent chair, ottoman or relaxed curtains where its warm neutral palette can soften harder finishes. It sits especially well with oak, tobacco leather and chalky paint colours.

Pair with plain linens or brushed metals to let the woven diamond motif stay crisp.

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