36 Blackberry

Marilyn 36 Blackberry is a richly dark plain textile, reading as blackberry plum with a restrained brown undertone. Its close, even surface gives the colour a quiet depth rather than a glossy finish.

About this fabric

The swatch appears densely woven, with a very fine diagonal grain visible across the dark surface. Its blackberry tone sits between deep plum and brown, creating a grounded, almost wine-like impression in the close-up. Subtle shifts in the weave stop the colour from appearing completely flat while keeping the overall look understated. No composition, width or performance specification has been supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Pair this deep blackberry-plum shade with warm timber, aged brass or soft neutrals, where its dark tone can act as a tailored focal point. It would suit structured upholstery particularly well, especially when balanced with lighter surrounding textiles.

Use this deep blackberry tone to bring moody, tailored colour to upholstered seating and accent pieces.

36 Blackberry 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.
