About this fabric

The swatch reads as a rich petunia purple, deepening towards aubergine in the darker areas while remaining distinctly cool in tone. Its closely woven surface has a restrained diagonal grain rather than a bold contrasting motif, allowing the colour to remain the focus. At 271gsm and 137cm usable width, this is a versatile mid-weight fabric suited to both upholstery and drapery. The design has a 36.5cm vertical repeat and a 34.5cm horizontal repeat for planning pattern placement.

How to use it

Use Spectrum Petunia to bring concentrated, cool-toned depth to a reading chair, occasional upholstery or full-length curtains, balancing it with warm timber, soft neutrals or aged brass.

Use its deep, cool purple tone to add quiet depth to upholstery, curtains or cushions.

Pairs well with

Spectrum Petunia 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.
