About this fabric

This colourway reads as a shadowed midnight purple, with subtle shifts between deep plum and darker violet across the nap. The plain face has a softly brushed, suede-like texture, with no printed motif or contrasting pattern visible. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification, so the fabric’s tactile surface and rich, even colour are its defining details.

How to use it

Use this cool, dark purple on a statement armchair, sofa or upholstered headboard where its low-sheen surface can add depth without introducing a pattern. Balance the shade with warm timber, aged brass or soft neutral textiles.

Use this deep, shadowed purple to give upholstered seating a rich, quietly dramatic finish.

Pairs well with

Dakota Suede Ii Midnight Purple 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.
