About this fabric

The design combines broad olive and cream checks with narrow coral and pale green overchecks, creating depth without a high-contrast effect. At 270gsm, the cloth has a versatile mid-weight presence suited to both upholstery and drapery. The usable width is 138cm, with a compact 10cm vertical repeat and 9.5cm horizontal repeat that keep the plaid clearly defined across a piece. Its gently textured woven surface softens the brighter coral lines and gives the overall colourway a mellow, tactile finish.

How to use it

Use Bowland Spice to bring olive warmth and muted coral accents to a country-style armchair, bench or pair of curtains. Balance the plaid with warm creams, natural timber and quieter olive-green plains so the coral lines remain a subtle focal detail.

A warm, softly rustic check that suits relaxed upholstery, curtains and cushions.

Pairs well with

Bowland Spice 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.
