About this fabric

The image shows a dark plum-brown plain fabric, warmer and more subdued than a vivid purple. Its smooth, plush face catches the light along the raised folds, creating gentle highlights against richly shaded troughs. The fluid drape suggests a substantial, soft handle suited to upholstery. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Rioga on a statement armchair, sofa or headboard, pairing its shadowy plum warmth with aged timber, smoked metal and softly contrasting neutrals. Its deep tone is particularly effective in rooms designed for an intimate, cocooning mood.

Use this deep plum-brown shade on upholstered seating where its plush depth can anchor an intimate, low-lit scheme.

Pairs well with

Matador Rioga 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.
