Finlay Check Aqua

Finlay Check Aqua is a softly weathered check with a cool aqua cast running through a pale natural ground. The woven grid feels calm and slightly rustic, with enough colour variation to keep the pattern lively.

About this fabric

Part of the Erskine Wools collection by Colefax and Fowler, this fabric is composed of 73% wool and 27% linen and has an approximate width of 153cm. The check repeats at roughly V 14cm and H 13cm, giving it a balanced, medium-scale pattern that reads clearly without feeling heavy. In this colourway, the aqua blue stripes sit over a warm oatmeal base, with faint blush-toned lines adding a gentle, heritage feel. The wool-and-linen blend gives the swatch a softly textured, dry hand and a relaxed country-house character that works well across upholstery and drapery use.

How to use it

Use it on a small armchair, cushions, or relaxed curtains where the pale aqua can echo painted woodwork or tiled blues. It pairs especially well with chalky neutrals, weathered oak, and soft plastery greens.

A fresh wool-linen check that suits both tailored upholstery and light, characterful curtains.

Pairs well with

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