Summit Mole

Summit Mole has a softly muted mole-taupe ground with fine, closely spaced chevron lines running vertically across the cloth. The small-scale woven pattern gives the surface a restrained, tailored character rather than a bold graphic effect.

Pairs well with

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