About this fabric

Seen close up, this colourway is an even field of deep violet, with subtle darker and lighter variation across the fine surface. The texture is low-key and non-patterned, allowing the saturated purple tone to read clearly without a strong motif. Its visible mid-weight appearance makes it suitable for both upholstery and drapery. No performance features are noted for this colourway.

How to use it

Use this cool violet on a statement chair, ottoman or layered curtain to bring depth without warmth. It pairs especially well with soft grey, charcoal, pale timber and brushed metal.

A cool, richly toned violet with a subtle surface texture for upholstered seating, cushions or full-length curtains.

Soda Fr Violet 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.
