Bohemian Aubergine is a deeply shaded purple plain with a dry, lightly nubby surface and subtle tonal flecks across the weave. The colour reads as a dark aubergine with cool, smoky depth rather than a bright violet.

About this fabric

This colourway shows the Bohemian plain in a rich aubergine tone, with a densely textured weave that catches the light in small, irregular highlights. It is made from 100% polyester and supplied for contract use, with a 40,000 Martindale rating and back coating to Cigarette & Match to BS5852. The surface has a tactile, softly rugged look that gives the purple added depth and helps it feel more substantial on screen. Professional Dry Clean in situ is advised, with further care guidance available in the pattern book. Its dark, slightly muted finish makes it a strong choice where a smart, durable plain is needed.

How to use it

Use this aubergine alongside walnut wood, bronze metalwork and warm neutrals to keep the room grounded. It also adds depth to a scheme with charcoal, ink blue or soft blush accents.

A rich, textured purple that works beautifully on tailored seating and contract schemes.

Bohemian Aubergine 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.
