About this fabric

The image shows a plain woven fabric in a restrained taupe-grey shade, with delicate vertical lines and slight tonal variation giving the surface a softly tactile appearance. The colour feels warm rather than silvery, creating a calm, grounded impression without a visible pattern. Its even, mid-weight-looking weave makes it suitable for both upholstery and drapery. No performance features or further specification data are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Town Mouse to soften a room built around chalky whites, warm stone and natural timber, or pair it with deeper chocolate and charcoal accents for more tonal depth. Its subtle vertical texture is especially effective on relaxed seating, cushions or full-length curtains.

A quiet taupe-grey woven texture that brings gentle warmth and depth to upholstery or drapery.

Town Mouse 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.
