Liso Mockingbird

Liso Mockingbird is a deep blue-charcoal plain sateen with a cool, shadowed appearance. Its smooth surface catches the light softly, revealing just enough tonal variation to keep the dark shade from looking flat.

About this fabric

The colour sits between charcoal grey and inky blue, giving this plain cloth a more atmospheric depth than a straightforward black or neutral grey. A fine, even surface is visible across the swatch, with a restrained sateen sheen that becomes clearer as the light moves across it. The cloth has no visible motif or repeat, so the emphasis remains on its deep tone and clean finish. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Mockingbird for full-length curtains in a study, bedroom or snug where its cool blue-charcoal tone can create a calm, enveloping backdrop. Pair it with pale stone, warm timber or brushed metal to bring out the subtle lustre without making the scheme feel heavy.

A deep blue-charcoal plain sateen for tailored curtains and quietly atmospheric interiors.

Liso Mockingbird 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.
