About this fabric

The colour sits between charcoal grey and softened brown, reading as a cool, understated taupe rather than a warm beige. A tightly packed plain weave creates a lightly irregular surface, while the fine yarn variation keeps the dark shade from looking flat. No composition, width, performance feature or rub-test information has been supplied for this colourway. The restrained texture and depth of tone give M649 Mole a smart, tailored character for upholstery.

How to use it

Use M649 Mole on a clean-lined sofa, armchair or headboard where its dark grey-brown taupe tone can anchor lighter natural walls and warmer timber. Pair it with chalky neutrals, aged leather or muted olive accents to bring out the subtle earthy cast.

A restrained, tightly woven mole tone that brings depth and tailored texture to upholstered pieces.

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.
