About this fabric

The swatch shows an even plain weave, creating a discreetly tactile, fine-grained texture across the surface. Tyrian Purple sits between plum and muted violet, with enough depth to feel enveloping without appearing near-black. Subtle shifts in the woven face give the solid colour quiet dimension as the light moves across it. With no visible motif, this colourway offers a clean, tailored ground for upholstery, cushions or curtains.

How to use it

Pair this cool, dusky purple with warm timber, aged brass and soft neutral upholstery for contrast. Used on a statement chair or full-length curtains, it brings depth without the high brightness of a jewel-toned violet.

Use this dusky purple as a confident plain on tailored upholstery, cushions or softly structured curtains.

Linara Tyrian Purple 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.
