About this fabric

The close-up shows a brown-grey mole ground with softly contrasting taupe-grey tracery that resembles abstract timber grain. Broad, branching lines sit alongside finer vertical ripples, creating a large-scale organic pattern rather than a regular repeat. A subtle horizontal surface texture is visible through the ground and helps diffuse the contrast between the darker base and lighter markings. This SKU is catalogued as Fabric, with no performance features noted.

How to use it

Use Athne Mole on a tailored sofa, occasional chair or full-length curtain when the room needs a deep, softened neutral with visible movement. Pair it with chalky stone, smoked wood and warm metal accents to bring out its brown-grey depth.

Use this deep mole-taupe colourway to add a quietly graphic, textured finish to upholstery or drapery.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Athne Mole 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.
