What is Moiré?

Moiré is a woven fabric with a pressed or calendared finish that creates a soft, undulating watermark. The effect reads as elegant movement rather than a print, so it layers beautifully with florals, stripes, or plain textures. Our range includes moiré suitable for curtains and Roman blinds, as well as robust moiré upholstery fabrics for occasional seating and decorative accents.

Welcome to Moire - our collection of beautiful traditional upholstery fabrics with the appearance of watered silk. Delicate variations of shade are seen as the light moves across the surface of the fabric. This very traditional design is perfect for antique upholstery and, at 38000 rubs, is a very durable option for both domestic and contract use.

Where Moire Fabric Works Best

• Curtains & Blinds: moiré’s sheen plays beautifully in changing daylight, giving drapery a luxurious fall and quiet drama.
• Accent Chairs & Headboards: add polish to a bedroom or sitting room without overpowering other patterns.
• Cushions & Trims: a simple way to bring texture and light to a sofa scheme.
• Dining Rooms & Entrance Halls: formal settings where moiré’s tailored look really shines.

Why choose Moire Upholstery Fabric

Choose a tone that picks up existing finishes — eau-de-nil, dove grey, ink, burgundy, straw — and let the watermark do the talking. Pair with matte walls, antique brass, or limed timber for contrast. Moiré also sits beautifully alongside Arts & Crafts prints, adding a refined counterpoint to leafy patterns. For upholstery, use moiré on occasional chairs, panels, and cushions; for heavy-use seating, consider placing moiré as a coordinate rather than the primary cloth.

How to use Moire Curtain Fabrics

Our moiré selection is designed for real homes: dependable handle, stable colour, and a finish that keeps its character. For curtains, we recommend lining and interlining to enhance drape and protect the surface.
