About this fabric
The colour reads cool and subdued rather than vivid, with delicate pink-mauve threads softened by darker taupe flecks. Its small-scale plain weave gives the surface a lightly nubby, textile-rich appearance while retaining an even overall tone. No performance features are noted for this fabric, so its appeal here lies in the restrained colour and finely textured construction visible in the swatch.
How to use it
Pair this dusky thistle-mauve colourway with warm ivory, mushroom and aged timber for a calm, layered scheme. Its quiet depth also works well beside charcoal or soft blue-grey accents.
Use this softly muted mauve-taupe weave to bring quiet colour and fine texture to upholstery or drapery.

Pairs well with
25 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.
