Misc Fabric

Spectrum - Aubergine is a near-plain textile in a deep aubergine shade, softened by fine, close mottling across the surface. Its brown cast keeps the purple from reading bright, giving the swatch a shaded, quietly tactile character.

About this fabric

The close-up shows a fine, even surface with subtle tonal variation rather than a visible motif. Aubergine purple is tempered with a warm brown undertone, creating a deep, subdued colour that changes gently as the light moves across the texture. The supplied information catalogues this as a fabric, with no performance features noted for the colourway.

How to use it

Use this muted aubergine-brown shade on an armchair, sofa or headboard where its dark, softly textured colour can act as a grounding accent. Pair it with warm timber, aged brass and restrained neutral upholstery for a layered scheme.

Use the muted aubergine-brown depth to bring quiet colour and soft texture to upholstered seating.

Spectrum - Aubergine 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.
