About this fabric

The close-up shows a plain fabric with a fine, understated weave and no visible motif or printed pattern. Its smoky plum tone sits between soft purple and charcoal grey, with the surface texture creating gentle tonal variation as it catches the light. The appearance suggests a versatile mid-weight textile suitable for upholstery and drapery. No composition, width or rub-test specification has been supplied, and no performance features are noted.

How to use it

Use this cool, dusky plum-grey to bring depth to a neutral room, particularly on a tailored armchair, headboard or softly gathered curtain. Pair it with warm ivory, weathered timber and brushed metal to keep the dark shade feeling balanced.

A quietly sophisticated smoky plum-grey woven texture for tailored upholstery or softly structured curtains.

Tokara Quartz 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.
