About this fabric

Woven in 100% cotton and measuring approximately 145cm wide, this fabric has a practical, easy-to-use handle for schemes that need both structure and softness. The repeat is approximately V 6cm / H 18cm, creating a balanced check that feels more refined than rustic. In this colourway the blue is softened rather than bright, so the design sits calmly against the pale ground and keeps the overall look light. The fine weave and even surface make the pattern read clearly without feeling heavy or bulky.

How to use it

Use this blue check on small upholstered pieces, pelmets or relaxed curtains where you want a neat country-house note without too much contrast. It works especially well with chalk white paintwork, pale timber and understated navy accents.

Pair with crisp white, pale oak and polished nickel for a fresh tailored room.

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