About this fabric

The colour sits between dusty mauve, pale lavender and warm taupe, reading softer and more subdued than a saturated purple. A fine horizontal weave is visible across the surface, with understated tonal variation rather than a printed motif. Its matte appearance keeps the shade quiet, while slightly lighter threads catch the light across the face of the cloth. The even, medium-weight-looking construction makes this a versatile choice for upholstery or drapery.

How to use it

Pair Tourterelle with chalky whites, warm greys and pale timber for a restrained, softly coloured room. Its dusty mauve-taupe tone also works well against deeper plum, walnut or aged brass accents.

Use this muted mauve-taupe weave to bring soft colour and quiet texture to upholstery or relaxed window treatments.

Helios - Tourterelle 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.
