About this fabric

This colourway shows a delicate lilac tone with a cool, dusty softness that sits quietly on the cloth. The fine plain weave gives the surface a lightly textured, even appearance, so the shade feels smooth and calm rather than glossy or highly pronounced. Made from 100% polyester, Cayman is rated for General Domestic use and offers a practical 25,000 Martindale, making it a dependable choice for everyday seating. It is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, and can be machine washed at 30℃ or professionally dry cleaned in situ, with other treatments available on request.

How to use it

Use this lilac shade to soften upholstery in bedrooms, dressing rooms or quiet sitting areas, where its cool pastel depth can lift darker woods and painted finishes. It pairs especially well with pale neutrals, silvered greys and chalky whites.

A calm lilac plain that works well on tailored seating or soft accent pieces.

Pairs well with

Cayman 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.
