About this fabric

The shade sits between cool grey and soft taupe, creating a restrained, atmospheric impression in the close-up view. Fine vertical lines run through the weave, with slight tonal changes that catch the light without forming a strong pattern. The understated texture gives Mercury a smart, quietly layered appearance while keeping the overall surface calm. As no performance or composition specifications have been supplied, suitability should be confirmed against the intended upholstery or drapery application.

How to use it

Pair this cool taupe-grey with chalky whites, weathered timber and muted blue-grey accents for a calm, textural interior. Its fine vertical grain can also add subtle direction to plain upholstery or full-length curtains.

Use its cool taupe-grey tone to add quiet texture to upholstery, curtains or layered neutral schemes.

Pairs well with

Sulis 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.
