About this fabric

The swatch reads as a cool, muted mauve with a subtle lilac cast, rather than a bright or saturated purple. Its close velvet pile creates a smooth, softly brushed texture across the plain surface, while the light catches it with a quiet tonal shift. As a velvet fabric, it has the visual weight and tactile richness associated with upholstered furniture. The absence of a motif lets the nuanced colour and pile remain the focus.

How to use it

Pair this cool dusty lilac-mauve with warm ivory, pale mushroom or smoky grey for a composed scheme. It would bring understated colour to a sofa, lounge chair, ottoman or upholstered headboard.

Use this muted lilac-mauve velvet to bring soft colour and quiet depth to upholstered seating, headboards or occasional chairs.

Pairs well with

Young Nureyev Lilla 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.
