About this fabric

This colourway reads as near-black purple, with muted aubergine and plum tones emerging through the dark surface. The dense, nubby texture creates a softly mottled effect, while fine variations in the pile catch the light in scattered flecks. There is no visible printed motif; the character comes entirely from the tactile, close-set construction. Its substantial-looking surface makes Spectrum - Covent particularly convincing for upholstery where a dark, textural finish is desired.

How to use it

Pair this deep aubergine with warm timber, aged brass and softly chalky neutrals to keep the near-black tone from feeling stark. It is especially effective on a statement armchair, ottoman or upholstered headboard where its texture can be seen up close.

Use this near-black aubergine textile to bring depth and tactile richness to upholstered seating, headboards or occasional pieces.

Pairs well with

Spectrum - Covent 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.
