Swish FR Mink

Palazzo FR Fabric

Swish FR Mink is a soft, muted taupe with a fine, lightly brushed-looking texture that reads calm and understated in the swatch. The surface has a gentle depth, giving the colour a quiet warmth rather than a flat grey finish.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% polyester and 140cm wide, Swish FR Mink has no pattern repeat, making the plain surface easy to cut and pattern-match. The visible texture is subtly granular, with a short, velvety-looking grain that catches the light just enough to lift the shade from the background. Its mink tone sits between warm grey and brown, so it feels grounded and versatile without becoming heavy. With no repeat to work around, it suits clean-lined furniture as well as simple curtain drops where the colour and texture can do the work.

How to use it

Use this mink taupe alongside pale oak, putty and stone for a soft, tailored palette, or layer it with charcoal and black accents for a more architectural feel. It is especially effective in rooms that need warmth without overt colour.

A muted neutral that works neatly across tailored upholstery and relaxed curtains.

Pairs well with

Swish FR Mink 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.
