About this fabric

The colour sits between muted mauve, warm grey and taupe, with a restrained depth rather than a bright or strongly purple appearance. A small, even woven texture is visible across the surface, while the fabric falls into fluid folds with a soft, pliable look. This colourway is catalogued as a fabric, with no performance features noted in the supplied specification. Its subdued tone and matte texture make it particularly suited to understated window treatments and tonal schemes.

How to use it

Use Edinburgh Thistle for curtains where its dusty mauve-taupe tone can soften a room without adding obvious colour, teamed with warm ivory, mushroom, stone or charcoal accents.

Use this softly muted mauve-taupe in full-length curtains or relaxed Roman blinds, pairing it with warm greys, chalky neutrals and dark wood.

Pairs well with

Edinburgh Thistle 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.
