About this fabric

This petrol-toned colourway reads as a deep blue-grey with a quiet, matte blur rather than a bright sheen, so the surface feels sophisticated and restrained. The plain weave keeps the focus on the mohair texture, where the pile catches the light in subtle, shifting tones across the cloth. Made from 50% Mohair and 50% Acrylic, it is designed for upholstery and carries a strong 80,000 Martindale rub test, making it well suited to everyday seating. At 140 cm wide, it offers practical coverage for furniture pieces while keeping its smart, modern mood.

How to use it

Use this shade on a sofa, armchair or ottoman where you want a dark, tailored finish with a cooler edge. It pairs especially well with pale oak, brushed metal and off-white linens for contrast.

A dark, understated neutral for tailored upholstery and refined seating.

Pairs well with

Cape Mohair Petrol 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.
