About this fabric

The swatch is visually unpatterned, allowing its saturated grape tone to provide the design interest. A fine, softly plush-looking surface gives the cloth gentle directional shading rather than a flat, printed finish. In brighter areas, the purple lifts towards violet; in the deeper folds and edges, it reads almost midnight blue. The dense visual weight and rich colour make this a strong upholstery choice for seating that is intended to feel dramatic and enveloping.

How to use it

Use 18 Grape on an armchair, sofa or footstool where its deep blue-purple tone can act as the room's focal colour. Balance the shade with warm timber, antique brass or quiet neutrals to keep the saturated surface from feeling too cool.

A deep, atmospheric purple with a softly shaded surface for statement upholstery.

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.
