About this fabric

The design is formed from elongated, uneven lines that run vertically across the cloth, with brighter raised-looking marks set against darker broken channels. Its dusty mauve tone sits between cool taupe and subdued plum, while the contrasting grey threads catch the light in fine, intermittent flashes. The visible weave has a tactile, layered appearance rather than a flat printed finish. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use this cool, softened mauve-taupe on an occasional chair, headboard or full-length curtain, balancing it with pale stone upholstery and charcoal or aged-metal details.

Pair the dusty mauve-taupe ground with warm neutrals, smoked wood and charcoal accents to echo its layered vertical texture.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Zkara Malva without fighting it. 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.
