Soulful Mocha

Soulful Mocha is a tactile plain in a warm, grounded brown that reads softly mottled across the surface. The close weave and subtle texture give it a lived-in depth rather than a flat solid.

About this fabric

This plain from the Soulful collection has a rich mocha-brown base with lighter khaki-brown highlights caught in the texture, creating a dry, understated finish. Woven in 100% Recycled Polyester, it is specified for Heavy Domestic use and achieves 40,000 Martindale, making it a practical choice for everyday upholstery. The surface has a low-sheen, slightly napped look that helps the colour feel warm and cocooning rather than glossy. It is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, and after care is Professional Dry Clean in situ, with further instructions in the pattern book.

How to use it

Use Soulful Mocha on a sofa, banquette or accent chair where its warm brown tone can anchor lighter woods, stone and cream walls. It also works well in calm, layered schemes with olive, rust or charcoal accents.

A versatile mocha neutral that adds depth without looking heavy.

Pairs well with

Soulful Mocha 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.
