About this fabric

Woven in 100% polyester, Alaska Heather is specified for severe contract upholstery and drapes, with a 45,000 severe contract rub test and a 146cm width. Its 300gsm weight gives it a substantial handle, which suits the smooth, close surface visible in the swatch. The colour is a muted pink-mauve with a greyed undertone, so it feels more restrained than bright and picks up light in a very soft way. The plain style and lightly textured finish make it easy to use where you want colour without pattern noise.

How to use it

Use this shade to bring a gentle blush note to tailored upholstery, or hang it as drapery where the muted heather tone can sit quietly against pale timber and stone. It pairs especially well with warm neutrals, taupe, and brushed metal finishes.

A muted mauve that works well across upholstery and drapes.

Pairs well with

Alaska Heather 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.
