Liana Moleskin

Name: Liana Moleskin

Liana Moleskin is a softly understated plain with a warm taupe-brown cast and a subtly textural surface. The finish reads calm and restrained, with just enough depth to feel inviting rather than flat.

About this fabric

Woven in 45% cotton, 38% linen and 17% viscose, this 140cm-wide fabric has a natural, slightly slubby look that suits both upholstery and drapery. In Moleskin, the colour sits between brown and taupe, with a muted, earthy warmth that feels grounded and easy to live with. The surface catches the light gently, showing a soft chalky variation across the weave rather than any high shine. With no pattern repeat, it is a straightforward plain that works especially well where you want texture without visual noise.

How to use it

Use this colourway on relaxed seating, tailored cushions or simple curtains where its muted brown-taupe tone can soften sharper schemes. It pairs particularly well with oat, camel, antique brass and deep olive accents.

A quietly versatile taupe that layers easily with natural woods, stone and deeper earthy accents.

Pairs well with

Liana Moleskin 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.
