About this fabric

The fabric shows a fine woven ground in a muted taupe-grey tone, with a subtle warmth that prevents it from reading as stark grey. Small elongated botanical motifs are worked in ivory, each composed of delicate leaf and floral details. The low-contrast embroidery remains clearly defined while allowing the ground's fine weave to stay visible around it. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Moonshine where a gentle, warm neutral is needed: on a pair of occasional chairs, a headboard or softly tailored curtains. Its ivory motif and restrained taupe depth sit comfortably with chalky whites, natural timber and pale stone.

A quietly refined taupe ground with ivory embroidery for upholstered pieces, curtains or relaxed decorative schemes.

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.
