Clovelly purple
Diffusion Fabricclovell/fa1/vio
Clovelly Purple shows a painterly scatter of blossom-like leaves and petals across a pale ground, with violet, lavender and blue tones lifting from the cloth. The design feels airy and watercolour-led, with the colour concentrated in the larger floral clusters.

About this fabric
Woven in 95% cotton and 5% linen, this fabric has a natural matte look that suits the soft-edged print and keeps the colours from appearing too glossy. The 230gsm weight gives it enough substance for curtains, blinds and soft furnishings, while still feeling versatile enough for lighter upholstery-style schemes. In this colourway, the lilac and purple notes read cool and slightly washed, with flashes of blue and small green accents that add freshness against the pale background. The usable width is 140cm, with a 46.6cm horizontal repeat and 68.5cm vertical repeat, so the larger floral motif has room to sit clearly across the fabric. It is dry clean only and iron safe.
How to use it
Use Clovelly Purple in a room with chalky whites, muted sage or pale oak to echo the cool lilac tones. It works particularly well in bedrooms and sitting rooms where the large-scale floral print can soften straight lines and window frames.
Pair with pale linens and painted wood to keep the painterly lilac palette light and fresh.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Clovelly purple without fighting it. 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.
