About this fabric

This colourway is a cool dusty lilac, softened with a mauve-pink cast rather than a bright or saturated purple. Fine vertical and horizontal threads create a restrained woven texture that catches the light without forming a visible motif. At 198 gsm and 308 cm usable width, it is particularly well suited to generous curtain drops and wide window treatments. The supplied specification records 48.5 threads per cm and no pattern repeat vertically or horizontally, matching the swatch’s uninterrupted plain appearance.

How to use it

Pair the cool lilac-mauve tone with chalky whites, soft greys or pale timber for a calm scheme. Its 308 cm width makes it a practical choice for full-height curtains where a quiet, continuous surface is preferred.

Use this cool dusty lilac for full-height curtains that bring a soft mauve lift to neutral rooms.

Pairs well with

Ario Wide Width Lilac 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.
