Lanark Plaid Navy

Lanark Plaid Navy brings a quiet, tailored feel to the Erskine Wools collection. The navy ground is softened by fine, misty crosslines that keep the check understated rather than bold.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% wool, Lanark Plaid Navy has a reassuringly substantial look that suits both furnishings and window treatments. The plaid reads as a cool navy with softened blue-grey depth, crossed by pale, chalky lines that give the design a restrained country-house character. Its repeat is approximately V 11.5cm / H 12cm, and the 138cm width makes it practical for larger upholstery runs or lined curtains. The overall effect is matte, calm and neatly structured, with the check becoming more apparent at a distance and more textural up close.

How to use it

Use this navy plaid with pale oak, charcoal painted joinery or crisp ivory linens to keep the room sharp and composed. It works especially well where a smart, traditional pattern is needed without adding visual heaviness.

A cool navy plaid that feels tailored and timeless on chairs or curtains.

Pairs well with

Lanark Plaid Navy 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.
