Rue Linen Mouse

Rue Linen FabricSAF0347-36

Rue Linen Mouse is a calm, tone-on-tone grey linen-look fabric with a fine, lightly slubbed surface. Its muted mouse shade reads cool and understated, with just enough texture to stop it feeling flat.

About this fabric

Woven with 84 threads per cm and weighing 241gsm, this fabric has the substance to sit comfortably on seating while still feeling refined enough for drapery. The colour is a soft mouse grey, neither stark nor warm, and the close weave gives it a dry, linen-like finish with a gently mottled appearance in the light. With a usable width of 139 cm and no pattern repeat, it is easy to plan for simple upholstery cuts or clean curtain drops. The restrained surface texture makes the shade feel tailored and contemporary rather than decorative.

How to use it

Use this grey as a grounding neutral alongside chalk whites, black accents, or pale timber for a clean, calm scheme. It is especially effective where you want texture and quiet depth without introducing a strong colour statement.

A quietly tailored grey that works neatly on upholstery and curtains alike.

Pairs well with

Rue Linen 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.
