Kelso Damson
Kelso Fabrics FabricCCF0440-10
Kelso Damson has a dusky damson-mauve ground with a close, irregular crossweave that gives the swatch a softly mottled grey-purple appearance. Its restrained colour depth shifts subtly across the textured surface rather than reading as a flat plain.

About this fabric
This 310 gsm textile has a tactile woven appearance, with fine intersecting yarns creating visible flecks of cooler grey through the muted damson shade. The surface is non-directional, with both vertical and horizontal pattern repeats recorded as 0 cm, making the texture easy to place across a project. At 137 cm wide, it is a versatile mid-weight option for upholstery and drapery. The subdued purple-brown tone brings a grounded, quietly sophisticated character without the intensity of a saturated plum.
How to use it
Pair Kelso Damson with warm ivory, mushroom and weathered timber for a softened, tonal room, or use it to deepen a scheme of dusty pinks and greyed mauves. Its mottled weave is particularly effective on a tailored chair, ottoman or relaxed curtain where the damson tone can be seen at close range.
Use the dusky damson-mauve tone to bring depth to upholstery, curtains or layered neutral schemes.

Pairs well with
Kelso Damson 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.
