Expressions purple
Winterskies Fabricexpress/fa1/ony
Expressions Purple has a fluid, painterly look, with smoky lilac, mauve and plum forms drifting across a pale ground. The design feels airy yet dramatic, with soft edges that give the pattern a watercolour effect.

About this fabric
Woven in 60% cotton and 40% viscose, this fabric has a substantial 467gsm handle and a pleasingly full appearance. The visible surface reads as softly textured rather than flat, with layered purple, grey and muted green tones moving in vertical, ruffled bands across the cloth. Its 68cm horizontal and 76cm vertical pattern repeats suit the expansive, illustrative sweep of the design, while the 60,000 Martindale rating makes it a practical choice for heavier use in soft furnishings and occasional upholstery. Dry clean only and do not iron, it is also specified for curtains and blinds, where the pale ground and darker lilac accents will catch light beautifully.
How to use it
Use this purple colourway as a statement curtain or blind in a room with chalky whites, dove grey or muted sage, letting the cool lilac notes stay refined. It also works well on an accent chair or large cushion where the flowing abstract pattern can be seen in full.
Pair with pale neutrals or smoked metallics to let the watery violet movement stand out.

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