Name: 1796/KD48
Brand: Moons

Misc Fabric

1796/KD48 has a warm, weathered taupe ground threaded with olive and soft brown, giving the surface an earthy, quietly dimensional appearance. Its close-set chevron lines create a refined herringbone texture rather than a bold geometric statement.

About this fabric

The small-scale herringbone is formed from fine diagonal lines that shift subtly between taupe, olive and brown as the light moves across the weave. Its dense, even surface has a dry, tailored texture and a calm depth that feels more nuanced than a flat plain. The muted colouring makes the pattern read as an adaptable neutral while retaining visible character at close range. The supplied record lists no performance features or additional technical specifications.

How to use it

Pair this warm taupe-olive colourway with natural wood, aged brass and cream upholstery for an earthy, considered scheme. It would also bring tailored texture to a reading chair, banquette or upholstered headboard.

Use this muted taupe-olive herringbone to add tailored texture to sofas, chairs and headboards.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside 1796/KD48 without fighting it. 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.
