Drayton Mink

Drayton Mink is a softly woven plain fabric in a warm, muted taupe that sits between natural beige and gentle brown. Its fine irregular texture gives the surface quiet depth, while the even colour keeps the overall impression calm and understated.

About this fabric
Made from 34% viscose, 32% cotton, 17% linen and 17% polyester, this 137cm-wide fabric combines a softly tactile surface with a versatile mid-weight appearance. The mink taupe shade has a warm, dusty cast rather than a cool grey undertone, and the close weave shows delicate tonal variation as the light moves across it. With a 40,000 Martindale rub test, it is suitable for loose upholstery as well as curtains and bedspreads. After care is professional dry cleaning only; do not wash, bleach or iron.
How to use it
Use Drayton Mink to bring a warm, quietly layered tone to an upholstered chair, relaxed sofa cover or full-length curtain. It pairs naturally with chalky neutrals, warm timber and deeper brown accents without making the room feel visually busy.
A softly textured mink taupe with an understated woven finish for relaxed upholstery, curtains and bedspreads.

Drayton 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.
