About this fabric

The close-up reveals a fine, even weave with tiny intersecting threads that give the otherwise plain surface subtle depth. Linara Mercury sits between taupe, mushroom and grey, creating a softened neutral rather than a stark stone shade. Light catches the raised threads gently, keeping the colour tactile without making it glossy. It is catalogued as a fabric, with no performance features noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use this muted taupe-grey on a relaxed armchair, sofa or Roman blind, pairing it with chalky whites, weathered timber and deeper brown accents to bring out its softly balanced warmth.

A versatile neutral with a fine woven texture for understated upholstery, curtains or blinds.

Pairs well with

Linara Mercury 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.
