Kelmscott Heather pairs a pale, cool taupe ground with finely woven dusty mauve and cream checks. Its softly heathered colour gives the plaid a quiet, timeworn character rather than a crisp, high-contrast effect.

About this fabric

The woven design shows balanced horizontal and vertical bands in muted mauve, cream and taupe, with delicate darker pinstripes adding definition where the lines cross. At 299 gsm, the cloth has a versatile mid-weight presence that suits both upholstery and drapery. The pattern repeats every 8.7 cm vertically and horizontally, creating a small-scale check that remains composed across a larger surface. Supplied at 137 cm usable width and a standard 40 m length, Kelmscott Heather is practical for coordinated room schemes.

How to use it

Use the pale taupe ground as a quiet neutral on a window seat, occasional chair or relaxed curtain, then echo the dusty mauve lines with faded rose, heather or warm wood accents.

Use this softly muted plaid to bring gentle structure and understated colour to upholstery, curtains or blinds.

Pairs well with

Kelmscott 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.
