About this fabric

The shade sits between muted plum and warm brown, creating a deep, dusky impression across the swatch. Fine tonal variation is visible throughout the surface, with softly clouded areas that subtly catch the light. The fabric is catalogued as a textile in the Misc collection, and its dense-looking, tactile appearance makes it particularly convincing for upholstery. With no performance features noted, its appeal here is visual: a restrained, velvety-looking depth and a rich, enveloping colour.

How to use it

Use this plum-brown colourway on a compact sofa, reading chair or headboard where its dark, softened tone can add intimacy. Pair it with aged timber, smoked metal and warm neutrals to keep the scheme grounded rather than theatrical.

A deep, softly mottled plum-brown upholstery cloth for enveloping, low-lit schemes.

Pairs well with

7974/X1090 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.
