Paolo Mist is a softly speckled neutral with a dry, tactile weave and a gently muted beige tone. The close weave gives it a tailored, understated look that feels calm rather than stark.

About this fabric

This plain from the Paolo collection is woven in 52% Polyester 48% Cotton, giving the surface a practical balance of softness and resilience. With a Martindale rating of 40,000 and Heavy Domestic usage, it is well suited to everyday seating and other hard-working upholstery applications. The swatch reads as a light mist beige with a faintly warm undertone, and the textured weave catches the light in a very subtle, matt way. Supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, it combines a neat, natural-looking finish with reassuring specification.

How to use it

Use Paolo Mist on sofas, accent chairs or banquettes where you want a light neutral that still feels grounded. Its soft beige tone sits comfortably with oak, linen and stone finishes, and works especially well in calm, layered interiors.

A calm neutral that pairs easily with warm woods and layered textures.

Pairs well with

Paolo Mist 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.
