Austen Lavender is a quietly elegant plain with a cool lavender-grey tone and a lightly striated surface. The shade reads muted rather than bright, giving the cloth a calm, tailored feel.

About this fabric

This colourway has a soft, silvery lavender cast that sits closer to grey than lilac, with fine horizontal striations visible across the surface. It is made from 90% Recycled Polyester and 10% Polyester, and is specified for drapes only. The 140cm width and 200gsm weight make it a practical curtain fabric with enough substance to hang neatly, while the 0cm horizontal pattern repeat suits a clean, uninterrupted finish. Woven in India, it has a smooth plain look that catches the light subtly rather than glossy or reflective.

How to use it

Use it for full-length curtains or relaxed Roman blinds where the cool lavender-grey can soften white walls and timber finishes. It pairs well with pale oak, chalky neutrals, and deeper plum accents for a layered, serene scheme.

A cool, understated lavender that works beautifully for calm, tailored window treatments.

Pairs well with

Austen Lavender 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.
