Rosa purple

Diffusion Fabricrosa/fa1/orc

Rosa Purple has a softly washed, watercolour look, with lilac, blush and blue-green strokes floating over a pale ground. The overall effect is airy and painterly rather than bold.

About this fabric

Woven in 95% cotton and 5% linen, this fabric has a relaxed natural handle and a softly textured surface that suits light-filtering interiors. The large 70cm horizontal and vertical repeat lets the abstract floral forms open up across curtains and blinds, giving the design room to breathe. In this Rosa Purple colourway, the lilac tones read muted and luminous, with blush pink washes and cool teal accents adding depth against the fresh pale background. At 230gsm, it has enough substance for soft furnishings while still feeling most at home in drapery applications. Dry clean only and cool iron finish the specification for a considered, decorative fabric.

How to use it

Use Rosa Purple to soften a bedroom, dressing room or sitting room where the lilac and blush tones can feel calm and airy. It pairs beautifully with painted whites, pale oak and muted teal accessories for a fresh, romantic scheme.

A dreamy painterly print that lifts soft interiors with gentle colour movement.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Rosa 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.
