About this fabric

This plain-looking colourway is built from closely blended aubergine and burgundy tones rather than a flat purple, giving the surface visible depth. The softly brushed, pile-like texture creates gentle changes in tone as the light moves across it. Its dense appearance makes it particularly suited to upholstered furniture, where the rich colour can give seating a cocooning, luxurious presence. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use Restfr Aubergine on a statement armchair, sofa or headboard against warm neutrals, walnut and aged brass. Its dark plum-burgundy tone also works well with olive, tobacco and soft blush accents.

A deep aubergine with a softly plush, tonal surface that brings richness to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Restfr Aubergine 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.
