About this fabric

The close-up reveals a small-scale woven texture rather than a printed motif, with tiny intersecting threads giving the surface subtle definition. Mortar’s pale greige colouring is quiet and chalky, while the folds create deeper taupe-grey shadows and brighter oatmeal highlights. The even weave gives the swatch a relaxed, natural visual character that remains understated at close range. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Pair this pale greige taupe with warm whites, weathered timber and soft stone shades for a calm tonal interior. Its fine crosshatch texture can also soften darker taupe or charcoal accents without introducing a strong pattern.

Use this softly mottled pale greige in calm, tonal schemes where its fine woven texture can add quiet depth.

Pairs well with

Obscura Mortar 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.
