Carnaby Amethyst

Magma Fabric

Carnaby Amethyst is a calm, powdery mauve with a softly luminous surface and a fine woven texture. Its understated purple tone feels muted rather than jewel-bright, giving the colourway a quietly elegant presence.

About this fabric

Woven in a 59% Cotton, 41% Polyester composition, Carnaby Amethyst has the relaxed handle and subtle texture of a versatile decorative fabric. The 140cm width and n/a pattern repeat make it straightforward to cut and use across a range of projects. In this colourway, the amethyst reads as a dusty lilac-mauve with a gentle grey cast, so the surface feels soft and atmospheric rather than saturated. The weave catches light lightly across the cloth, adding depth without any obvious pattern interruption. Care instructions are NQT1<.

How to use it

Use this shade where you want colour with restraint: it works beautifully on an accent chair, tailored cushions or simple curtains. Its muted amethyst tone sits especially well with pale oak, taupe and soft off-white finishes.

Pair with pale woods, warm neutrals or deep berry accents for a refined, modern look.

Pairs well with

Carnaby Amethyst 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.
