About this fabric

The swatch shows a finely woven, almost plain textile in a dusky mulberry red, with gentle tonal depth across the surface. Its compact grain gives the fabric a quiet tactile character rather than a decorative pattern. Sol Mulberry is catalogued as Outdoor, with Outdoor listed as its performance feature. In brighter areas the red appears slightly warmer, while the woven texture settles into a restrained, earthy berry tone.

How to use it

Pair this muted mulberry red with weathered timber, charcoal or warm stone for outdoor seating with a grounded, relaxed feel. Its plum undertone also works well alongside olive foliage and aged brass accents.

Use this dusky berry-red plain weave to add grounded colour to outdoor seating and relaxed upholstery schemes.

Sol Mulberry 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.
