Misc Fabric

Earth - Plum appears as a deep, muted plum with a softly mottled surface that gives the plain colour subtle movement. The close weave catches flecks of warmer and cooler red-purple in the light.

About this fabric

This colourway has a dusky burgundy-plum tone rather than a bright or saturated purple, giving it a grounded, intimate feel. A fine, closely woven texture is visible across the surface, with tiny tonal variations adding depth without forming a discernible motif. The even appearance makes it suitable for upholstery or drapery, although no performance features are noted for this fabric. Its restrained texture keeps the rich colour sophisticated and quietly tactile.

How to use it

Use Earth - Plum to deepen a room with warm timber, aged brass and soft neutral upholstery, or pair it with dusty rose and brown-red accents for a layered, tonal scheme. Its subdued burgundy cast is especially effective where a dark colour is wanted without a near-black finish.

Its muted plum tone and fine texture bring depth to upholstery, curtains or coordinating soft furnishings.

Earth - Plum 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.
