Austin Check Natural

Austin Check Natural combines broad cream, warm beige, pale sage and soft grey checks in a quietly weathered woven surface. The restrained natural palette gives the pattern a relaxed, softly layered appearance rather than a high-contrast graphic effect.

About this fabric

The large checked design is built from alternating pale blocks, with the intersecting threads creating subtle shifts between sage, grey, beige and creamy off-white. Its lightly textured face and 332 gsm weight give the cloth enough substance for upholstery as well as drapery. The fabric has a 135 cm usable width, with a vertical pattern repeat of 19.5 cm and a horizontal repeat of 17.5 cm for planning joins and pattern placement. A standard length of 40 m is supplied.

How to use it

Use the warm cream and beige squares to soften a relaxed sofa or occasional chair, then pick up the pale sage and soft grey in cushions, painted cabinetry or understated curtains. Its low-contrast natural colouring works especially well where a checked pattern is wanted without a sharp country look.

A softly textured oversized check in warm natural tones, suited to relaxed upholstery, cushions and full-length curtains.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Austin Check 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.
