Lavender

Misc Fabric

Lavender combines a cool lavender-grey ground with charcoal checks, creating a softly shaded plaid rather than a bright purple statement. The close-up reveals a tactile, lightly brushed weave with subtle tonal variation across the surface.

About this fabric

The woven plaid is built from fine intersecting lines, with darker charcoal bands giving the medium-scale check definition and depth. Its lavender tone is muted by grey, so it reads cool and smoky under the light rather than saturated or sweet. The softly napped surface catches the light unevenly, adding a gentle haze to the checked pattern. No performance features are noted for this fabric, so the intended upholstery application should be assessed against the requirements of the piece.

How to use it

Use this cool lavender-grey on a tailored chair, banquette or compact sofa, pairing it with charcoal timber, pale stone walls and brushed metal accents. Keep surrounding textures quiet so the layered plaid remains the focal detail.

Use this cool lavender-grey plaid on tailored upholstery, balanced with charcoal, stone or soft white.

Pairs well with

Lavender 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.
