Alba Amethyste
Alba FabricM4074-03
Alba Amethyste shows a painterly floral scatter set across a warm taupe ground, with lilac, plum and peach blooms lifted by fresh green foliage. The overall effect is decorative but balanced, with the muted background keeping the larger flowers feeling refined.

About this fabric
Woven in 100% cotton, this fabric has a soft, versatile handle and a generous width of approximately 136cm, making it well suited to curtains and other decorative soft furnishings. The repeat is approximately V 83cm / H 136cm, so the large blooms and smaller sprigs are designed to read as a full scenic-style pattern rather than a tight all-over. In this colourway, the taupe base is earthy and calm, allowing the mauve, amethyst and blush petals to stand out without looking too bright. The visible finish feels smooth rather than heavy, with enough substance for elegant drapery while still offering a tailored, upholstered look on occasional pieces.
How to use it
Use Alba Amethyste where you want colour with restraint: it works beautifully for full-length curtains, a statement headboard or accent chairs against painted neutrals. The taupe ground makes it easy to layer with stone, olive and soft plaster pink tones.
Let the large florals carry the room; pair with plain linens and muted greens.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Alba Amethyste 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.
