About this fabric

The colour sits between storm blue and muted teal, with charcoal depth that becomes lighter wherever the raised threads catch the light. Rather than a printed motif, the design is defined by a closely woven, irregular horizontal texture, giving the swatch a softly striated appearance. The dense-looking surface makes this colourway read as a considered upholstery textile, with a tailored rather than decorative character. No composition, width, rub test or additional performance specification has been supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Mercer Ocean on a structured armchair, sofa or headboard where its cool blue-grey depth can anchor pale stone, grey and warm timber finishes. Pair it with brushed metal or softened teal accents to draw out the subtle colour variation in the weave.

A cool, dark ocean tone with a dense horizontal texture for tailored upholstery.

Pairs well with

Mercer Ocean 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.
