About this fabric

The weave is fine and compact, with tiny tonal flecks that prevent the deep aubergine-brown from appearing flat. Rather than a bright or saturated purple, this colourway reads as muted and earthy, with a warm brown depth across the swatch. Tempera Aubergine is listed in Dedar’s Curtain fabrics collection, and no performance features are noted in the supplied specification. Its smooth-looking, relatively fine cloth makes it best suited to drapery.

How to use it

Use it for generous curtains in a calm, tonal scheme with warm taupes, walnut timber or aged brass; the brown cast will soften the intensity of the aubergine. Keep surrounding patterns quiet so the cloth’s subtle woven texture and dusky colour remain the focus.

Use this muted aubergine-brown cloth for full-length curtains where its dusky depth can add quiet warmth to a pared-back room.

Tempera Aubergine 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.
