About this fabric

Designed for fixed upholstery, Vara Horizon is suitable for Contract and General Domestic use. The 137cm-wide fabric combines 17% viscose, 23% recycled polyester, 44% acrylic, 7% linen and 9% polyester. In this Horizon colourway, the softened blue-lilac tone reads calm and slightly mineral, while the fine woven grain catches the light in delicate shifts across the surface. After-care is dry clean.

How to use it

Use this cool blue-lilac upholstery on a tailored sofa, dining chair or occasional seat, pairing it with chalky neutrals, pale timber and brushed metal. Warm terracotta or muted plum accents can bring out the colourway’s subtle lilac depth.

A cool, quietly textured blue-lilac weave for fixed upholstery in calm, contemporary interiors.

Pairs well with

Vara Horizon 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.
