About this fabric
Woven in 60% linen and 40% viscose, this fabric has a dry, lightly textured handle that suits both upholstery and drapery uses. The check is set at roughly 18cm vertically by 15cm horizontally, giving the design a clear but not overpowering rhythm across the cloth. In this colourway, the blue sits in a muted slate tone against a pale natural ground, so the contrast feels calm rather than sharp. The linen content shows in the slightly slubby surface, while the viscose adds a smoother, more settled finish with a faint sheen in the light.
How to use it
Use it for relaxed armchairs, bench cushions or loose curtains where the soft blue check can bring structure without feeling formal. It pairs naturally with chalky whites, weathered oak and deeper navy accents.
A quietly classic check that works beautifully in informal country schemes or softened with linen neutrals.

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.
