Kelmscott Natural pairs a warm ivory ground with softly contrasting taupe and beige lines in a neatly balanced check. Its lightly textured woven surface gives the pale colourway gentle depth without making the pattern feel busy.

About this fabric

The design is formed from broad and fine taupe lines crossing over the ivory ground, creating an even windowpane effect with a subtle natural variation in tone. Both the vertical and horizontal pattern repeats measure 8.7 cm, keeping the check clearly defined at close range. Weighing 299 gsm, the fabric has a versatile mid-weight presence suited to both upholstery and drapery. It is supplied at a 137 cm usable width, with a standard length of 40 m.

How to use it

Use Kelmscott Natural to brighten a window seat, occasional chair or full-length curtain while retaining the warmth of a taupe-lined check. Its ivory base works particularly well with pale timber, linen tones and softly weathered neutrals.

A warm natural check that brings quiet structure to upholstery, curtains and relaxed country interiors.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Kelmscott Natural without fighting it. 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.
