Name: Harris Lilac

Harris Lilac presents a cool, muted lilac-blue plaid softened by broad cream checks. Navy and charcoal lines give the design a clear woven structure without overpowering its pale ground.

About this fabric

The close view shows a balanced check built from lilac-blue and cream blocks, crossed by narrow navy and darker charcoal lines. Fine diagonal ribbing is visible across the surface, adding subtle tonal movement as the light catches the weave. The overall effect is calm and softly tailored, with the cool lilac reading more blue than pink against the cream sections. Its dense-looking woven construction appears versatile for both upholstery and drapery.

How to use it

Pair Harris Lilac with chalky walls, pale oak and navy detailing for a cool, quietly layered scheme. The cream checks can also be picked up in cushions or trims to keep the lilac ground feeling light.

Use the cool lilac ground with cream upholstery, pale timber or navy accents to echo the plaid lines.

Pairs well with

Harris 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.
