About this fabric
This colourway shows a subtle, clouded finish rather than a flat solid, giving the lilac shade extra depth and movement across the surface. Made from 100% polyester and specified for contract use, it offers a durable 80,000 Martindale rating and is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852. The weave has a slightly tactile, brushed appearance that catches the light in silvery-mauve flecks, softening the overall effect. After care includes professional dry clean in situ or washing at 40°C, with further guidance available in the pattern book.
How to use it
Use Modena Lilac on a statement armchair, banquette or upholstered headboard where its cool, smoky purple can sit alongside chalky neutrals and pale woods. It also works well with brushed brass or deep berry accents for a more dressed, contemporary look.
A muted lilac with a soft, contract-ready surface that suits tailored seating.

Pairs well with
Modena 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.
