About this fabric

This colourway sits between softened brown and grey, creating a restrained mole tone rather than a distinctly warm brown or cool grey. The close, suede-like surface is almost plain, with a low sheen and faint tonal variation visible as the nap catches the light. No performance features are noted for this fabric, so project-specific suitability should be confirmed before ordering.

How to use it

Use this mole taupe on a tailored armchair, sofa or headboard where its quiet depth can soften stronger architectural colours. Pair it with chalky neutrals, aged timber and brushed metal for a composed, understated scheme.

Pairs well with

Z Suede Mole 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.
