Calais Fabric

Calais Wisteria is a soft lilac plain weave with a calm, understated finish. The colour reads as a muted wisteria tone, lifted slightly by the fine woven texture visible across the surface.

About this fabric

This colourway sits in a cool lilac-purple family, with a dusky, lightly heathered depth rather than a bright floral violet. The tight plain weave gives the surface a neat, cloth-like texture that catches the light gently without shine. It is supplied as a 300 cm-wide curtaining fabric, making it well suited to full-width window treatments with a smooth, continuous hang. The composition is 52% recycled polyester and 48% polyester, offering a practical woven cloth with a refined, quiet appearance. With no pattern repeat and no Martindale rating noted, this is a simple, elegant fabric choice focused on drape and colour.

How to use it

Use this soft wisteria shade for floor-to-ceiling curtains, where its muted purple tone can soften pale walls and timber finishes. It also works well with chalky neutrals, brushed brass, and pale grey upholstery for a gentle, layered scheme.

A restrained lilac weave that feels calm and tailored on wide curtains.

Pairs well with

Calais Wisteria 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.
