Lunar Mulberry

Lunar Mulberry is a softly coloured plain with a calm, powdery mulberry tone. The surface reads matte and lightly textural, with a subtle woven grain that gives the shade depth without any visible pattern.

About this fabric

This colourway shows a muted lilac-mulberry note, cooler than a berry red and gentler than a true plum, which gives it a quiet, upholstered look. The plain weave has a fine horizontal slub and a soft, dry handle in appearance, so the cloth feels understated rather than glossy. Made from 54% polyester and 46% cotton, it is specified for Severe Contract Upholstery And Drapes and carries a 50,000 Severe Contract rub test, confirming it is built for demanding interiors. At 140cm wide and 459 grams per linear metre, it presents as a substantial contract textile with enough body for seating and enough fall for drapery. Originating in India, it is a practical plain that still brings a delicate, contemporary colour to the room.

How to use it

Use this soft mulberry shade to warm up tailored seating, wall-panelled spaces, or pleated curtains where a calm colour is needed. It pairs especially well with pale oak, warm stone, and chalky neutrals, letting the subtle texture do the work.

A refined lilac-mulberry plain that works beautifully across tailored upholstery and elegant drapes.

Pairs well with

Lunar Mulberry 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.
