Lanark Plaid Grey shows a calm heather-grey ground crossed with a fine, pale check that reads crisp rather than high-contrast. The wool surface gives the pattern a softly brushed, understated finish.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% wool, this Colefax and Fowler fabric has a reassuringly substantial handle that suits both upholstery and drapery projects. The plaid is set on a muted grey base, with delicate lighter lines that form a measured check without overpowering the cloth. Its approximate 11.5cm vertical and 12cm horizontal repeat gives the pattern a balanced, tailored look, while the 138cm width makes it practical for wider applications. The overall effect is cool, restrained and quietly textural, with the pale grid lifting the surface just enough to keep the colourway from feeling flat.

How to use it

Use this soft grey plaid on an armchair, ottoman or tailored curtain to add order without heaviness. It pairs naturally with oak, charcoal and chalky neutrals, especially in a room that leans relaxed-smart rather than formal.

A versatile grey plaid that brings quiet structure to classic interiors.

Pairs well with

Lanark Plaid Grey is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
