Oban Plaid Bayside Blue

Oban Plaid Bayside Blue combines cool blue-grey grounds with broad cream and charcoal checks in a clearly structured woven plaid. Its softly textured face gives the pattern a muted, tactile depth.

About this fabric

The design is built from large, interlocking checks, with fine tonal lines visible within the blue-grey and cream blocks. Charcoal bands add definition without making the colourway feel stark, while the cool blue base gives it a calm, slightly weathered character. The surface appears softly napped and substantial, making the plaid read as a structured upholstery textile rather than a delicate cloth. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Pair this cool, muted blue-grey with ivory, stone and pale timber for a relaxed coastal scheme, or use charcoal accents to sharpen its tailored check pattern on sofas and armchairs.

Use this cool blue-grey plaid on tailored upholstery, balanced with warm creams or natural timber.

Pairs well with

Oban Plaid Bayside Blue 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.
