About this fabric

This catalogued fabric has a gently irregular vertical texture, with plum and rose threads appearing and receding among quieter taupe, sage and blue lines. Its fine, fluid appearance makes it best suited to drapery, where the closely spaced stripes can fall into soft, understated movement. The colourway reads as muted rather than saturated, with a cool plum cast softened by warm pink and natural-looking neutral tones. No composition, width, rub-test or performance figures were supplied for this exact fabric, and no performance features are noted.

How to use it

Use Aurora Linen - Plum for full-length curtains where its dusty plum and blush tones can soften a neutral room without becoming dominant. Pair it with chalky paint, pale timber and understated upholstery to draw out the quieter taupe, sage and blue threads.

Its softly weathered plum ground and fine vertical movement bring gentle colour and texture to curtains and relaxed window treatments.

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