Mercury Mauve

Name: Mercury Mauve
Brand: Fryett's Fabrics

Mercury Mauve has a rich smoky plum base with a pale mauve metallic effect that catches the light across the surface. The abstract pattern reads bold and fluid, with a glossy finish that gives the swatch a distinctly dressed-up look.

About this fabric

From Fryett's Fabrics' Glamour collection, this fabric is made from 100% polyester and measures 140cm wide with a 20cm pattern repeat. The surface shows a deep mauve-plum ground broken by irregular silvery-lilac flashes, creating a layered, almost brushed effect. Its sheen lifts the darker colour underneath, so the overall impression stays moody rather than bright. The fabric feels suited to a statement scheme where you want texture, movement and a touch of shine.

How to use it

This colourway works well in rooms that need a darker, more atmospheric accent, especially against charcoal, deep berry or warm metallic finishes. Use it for upholstered pieces or drapery when you want the mauve tones to soften the richness of the plum base.

Use with velvet, glass and dark timber for a moody, polished scheme.

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