What I've done is find Australian fabrics or florals that can stand out and downplay the mauve. I use it as a 'filler' color. Mauve was overdone in the '80's and I doubt it'll have a major place in design for most people for years to come. Recently, I made a wall hanging for a wedding gift with a focus fabric (Australian) that had dark and light gray, deep teal, deep plum, black, old gold, turquoise, and pale blue and it turned out really nice. Another wedding gift with mauve had complementary dark purple and light, dark and light green, silver and gray.
I have a Mac and fail to successfully post photos on this site so I can't share, unfortunately. I hope the above provides some new ideas.
