Nantucket FabricCCF0071-38

Nantucket Violet is a deep, cool plum shade with a finely grained woven surface. Its close texture gives the colour a softly variegated depth rather than a flat, printed appearance.

About this fabric

The swatch shows an even, plain weave in saturated violet-plum, with tiny interlaced threads creating a subtle checked texture across the surface. At 380gsm and 140cm usable width, it has the substantial presence expected of an upholstery fabric. Both the vertical and horizontal pattern repeats are 0cm, so the cloth can be positioned without matching a motif. Light catches the raised weave gently, bringing out cooler purple highlights against the darker berry base.

How to use it

Use Nantucket Violet to upholster a reading chair, bench or compact sofa where its cool berry depth can act as the room’s focal colour. Pair it with chalky stone, mushroom or smoky grey walls, and introduce aged brass or dark timber for contrast.

Use this richly coloured woven upholstery on a statement chair, footstool or occasional sofa against warm neutrals and dark wood.

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.
