Carrera Lavender is a softly textured plain in a gentle lavender-mauve shade. The surface reads calm and lightly heathered, with a subtle matte softness rather than a bright, polished finish.

About this fabric

Part of the Carrera collection by J Brown, this plain fabric is woven in 100% polyester and specified for contract use. It carries an 80,000 Martindale rating, making it a durable choice for busy interiors, and it is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, with other treatments available on request. In the swatch, the colour sits between lilac and grey, giving the cloth a cool, powdery look that feels understated rather than sugary. The weave has a fine, softly mottled texture that lifts the surface just enough to keep the shade from appearing flat.

How to use it

Use this lavender-grey tone on contemporary seating, where its muted colour can balance pale timber, brushed metal and crisp white. It also works well in calm contract schemes that need a soft accent without losing the clean plain finish.

A quiet lilac-neutral that softens clean-lined furniture and layers easily with stone or chalk white.

Pairs well with

Carrera Lavender 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.
