About this fabric

The colour reads as a deep, cool blackberry purple, dark enough to approach black while retaining a discreet wine-plum undertone. At swatch scale, the face appears even and smooth, with a quiet textile grain visible rather than a completely flat finish. The supplied record lists no composition, width, rub test, performance features or other further specification data for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Smooth Blackberry on a statement armchair, sofa or ottoman where its near-black purple depth can anchor paler walls, smoky neutrals and warm timber. It will suit rooms seeking a low-light, enveloping atmosphere rather than a bright or casual look.

The near-black blackberry tone brings depth and a quietly luxurious feel to upholstered seating.

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.
