About this fabric

The photograph shows an even, fine woven texture rather than a printed motif or pile, with tiny tonal variations running through the dusty plum surface. The fabric falls into broad, supple folds, suggesting a versatile mid-weight suitable for both upholstery and drapery. Its cool mauve base is softened by heathered flecks, keeping the shade calm rather than highly saturated. Melton Heather is catalogued as a fabric, with no performance features noted in the supplied information.

How to use it

Use this cool dusty mauve on a relaxed occasional chair, headboard or full-length curtains where its plum depth can sit alongside warm neutrals, smoky greys or aged wood. The heathered texture also works well with boucle, linen and brushed finishes.

A muted mauve woven cloth that brings soft plum depth to upholstery, curtains and layered schemes.

Pairs well with

Melton Heather 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.
