Rye Fabric18
18 Heather has a deep, dusky plum-brown appearance with a softly mottled heather effect across its close woven surface. The restrained colour shifts subtly between mauve, brown and charcoal as the light catches the yarns.

About this fabric
The swatch presents a quiet plain weave, with fine vertical and horizontal texture creating a lightly flecked, tactile finish rather than a printed pattern. Its muted plum tone has a cool, smoky depth, softened by brown undertones that keep the shade from feeling brightly purple. The supplied specification records no performance features for this fabric.
How to use it
Pair 18 Heather with warm ivory, mushroom and aged timber for a layered, enveloping scheme. Against pale walls, its smoky plum-brown depth can define a sofa, occasional chair or full-length drapery without introducing a vivid accent colour.
Its dusky plum-brown tone brings quiet depth to upholstered seating, cushions or softly tailored window treatments.

Pairs well with
18 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.
