About this fabric

Halston Mercury is catalogued as a fabric, with no performance features noted. Its cool mid-grey ground is covered with tightly packed square and rectangular forms, each defined by darker charcoal edging. Subtle tonal variation across the surface gives the pattern a softly mottled, relief-like depth rather than a high-contrast graphic finish. The structured appearance makes this colourway particularly suited to tailored upholstery.

How to use it

Use this cool mercury-grey colourway on a clean-lined chair or sofa, allowing the darker square outlines to provide a restrained architectural detail. Pair it with pale stone, charcoal and blackened metal for a composed contemporary scheme.

A cool, architectural grey with layered square geometry for tailored upholstery.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Halston Mercury without fighting it. 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.
