Misia Bastille presents a quiet taupe-grey ground enlivened by fine threads in blue, muted red and ochre. Its close, irregular weave gives the surface a softly tactile, understated character.

About this fabric

The base reads as a balanced taupe-grey, sitting between warm stone and cool grey rather than presenting as a flat neutral. Small blue, red and ochre flecks appear through the weave, creating subtle colour depth without forming a defined motif. Fine horizontal and vertical threads produce an irregular, lightly gridded texture that remains gentle at this scale. The visible medium-weight woven construction makes it suitable for both upholstery and drapery.

How to use it

Use this muted taupe-grey colourway on relaxed upholstery or full-length curtains, then pick up its quiet blue and ochre notes in cushions, painted cabinetry or ceramics.

Pair this softly flecked taupe-grey weave with warm timber, chalky neutrals and restrained blue accents.

Pairs well with

Misia Bastille 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.
