About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, Malone Check Tomato/Aqua has a breathable, natural handle that suits both curtains and upholstery projects. The repeat is approximately V 23cm / H 20cm, giving the check a clearly structured, medium-scale presence across the cloth. Visually, the colourway reads as soft aqua with lively tomato-red lines and quieter beige-grey accents, so the pattern feels bright without becoming harsh. The linen’s slightly slubby texture and the pale background help the check stay relaxed and easy-going rather than formal. It is 142cm wide approximately and carries a √CM fire code, with care code Q 8 + T 3.

How to use it

Use this colourway to bring a cool, coastal note to loose covers, cushions or full-length curtains. The aqua ground softens the red check, making it especially effective in light-filled rooms with painted woodwork or pale timber.

Fresh aqua and tomato-red checks give this linen a crisp, informal lift.

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