About this fabric

Woven in 70% viscose and 30% linen, Sherborne Mauve has the soft handle and subtle sheen you expect from a decorative fabric with a natural-looking slub. At 140cm wide with a 0cm pattern repeat, it is straightforward to plan and cut for tailored work. The colour is a strong mauve pink: richer than blush, cooler than raspberry, and lively enough to read clearly without looking neon. Its fine texture catches the light gently, giving the shade a slightly heathered depth across the surface.

How to use it

Use Sherborne Mauve to add a confident accent on occasional chairs, cushions or relaxed curtains, where the colour can bring warmth and personality. It pairs well with pale neutrals, chalky greys and walnut finishes, which let the mauve tone remain the focal point.

A vivid mauve that brings colour without overpowering a room.

Sherborne Mauve 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.
