About this fabric

Woven in 82% viscose and 18% linen, this fabric has a smooth, lightly textured handle with the gentle slub and matte sheen you’d expect from that blend. The check repeats at approximately 12cm vertically and horizontally, creating a balanced medium-scale pattern that reads clearly without feeling hard-edged. In this colourway, the blue is a soft slate tone rather than a bright navy, so the overall effect is restrained and versatile. It is catalogued at approximately 140cm wide and carries care code Q 8 + T 3, with fire code √BM.

How to use it

Use it for upholstered dining chairs, a neat armchair or Roman blinds where the pale cream intersections can lift the room. It works especially well with weathered oak, chalky paint finishes and other muted blues.

A crisp blue check that feels tailored and easy to layer with natural linens or painted woodwork.

Pairs well with

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