About this fabric

The 368gsm cloth has a substantial, tightly woven texture, with small interlaced slubs creating the softly nubby surface visible in the swatch. Its mauve colouring is subdued rather than bright, blending lilac, plum and greyed taupe notes for a calm, layered finish. With a 137cm usable width, it offers practical coverage for upholstery work, while the 0cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeats make cutting straightforward. The plain construction keeps the emphasis on the tactile weave and nuanced Heather colourway.

How to use it

Pair Henley Heather with chalky neutrals, aged timber and brushed metal, or use it on a statement armchair where its dusty mauve tone can add colour without becoming vivid. Its quiet, no-repeat weave also suits upholstered headboards, dining chairs and sofas.

Use this softly heathered mauve weave to bring quiet colour and tactile depth to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Henley 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.
