About this fabric

The close-up shows an even, non-patterned surface in a warm taupe-brown shade, with subtle tonal variation across the nap rather than a visible motif or weave. Its matte finish absorbs the light softly, while the brushed texture creates gentle depth as the surface changes direction. This is catalogued as a fabric, with no composition, width, rub-test or performance features supplied for this colourway. The dense, velvety appearance makes it best suited to upholstery applications.

How to use it

Use this mushroom-taupe colourway on a sofa, occasional chair or headboard where its soft matte surface can bring warmth without becoming visually heavy. Pair it with chalky creams, aged timber and muted olive or charcoal accents for a grounded, tonal room.

A softly brushed mushroom-taupe surface that adds quiet warmth and tactile depth to upholstered furniture.

Z Suede Mercury 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.
