About this fabric

In the photograph, Mole reads as a deep, softened grey with a subtle brown cast, shifting from charcoal-like shadow to a silvery sheen across the folded nap. The plain surface has no visible repeat, matching the supplied 0 cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeats. At 540 gsm and 141 cm usable width, it has a substantial presence for upholstery. The supplied standard length is listed as 0 m, and no performance features are noted.

How to use it

Use this muted, brown-leaning grey on a sofa, headboard or occasional chair where the velvet nap can create gentle tonal movement. It will sit comfortably with warm timber, aged metal and layered neutrals without introducing a strong colour accent.

A substantial mole-grey velvet with a softly reflective nap, well suited to tailored upholstery and statement seating.

Pairs well with

Performance Velvets Mole 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.
