Spectrum Damson is a deep, muted plum shade with a subtle red-violet cast. Its close surface texture gives the colour gentle tonal variation rather than a flat, uniform appearance.

About this fabric

This colourway reads as a dusky damson plum, with the darker tone lending the fabric a quietly rich, sophisticated character. A fine, low-contrast directional texture is visible across the surface, catching the light softly without creating a pronounced motif. At 271gsm and 137cm usable width, it is a versatile mid-weight option for upholstery and drapery. The supplied pattern repeat measures 36.5cm vertically by 34.5cm horizontally.

How to use it

Use Spectrum Damson on an occasional chair, headboard or full-length curtains where its muted plum tone can bring depth without becoming bright or theatrical. It pairs naturally with warm taupes, smoked greys, aged timber and soft brass accents.

Use this deep damson plum tone to add restrained colour and depth to upholstery, curtains or coordinating soft furnishings.

Pairs well with

Spectrum Damson 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.
