About this fabric

Woven in a 40% Wool, 20% Cotton, 18% Viscose, 16% Linen, 6% Polyester blend, Fen Plaid Blue has the dry, settled handle of a smart furnishing cloth. The 15cm vertical and horizontal repeat creates an orderly plaid that reads clearly across the 138cm width. In this colourway, the blue ground is softened to a greyed slate tone, while the lighter crossing lines add a pale cream note that keeps the pattern crisp. It feels steady and versatile rather than bright, with enough texture in the weave to suit relaxed upholstery or lined curtains. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for specification reference.

How to use it

Use it on a compact armchair, ottoman, or tailored window treatment where the slate-blue check can bring quiet structure. It pairs naturally with pale oak, chalky neutrals, and deeper navy accents.

A restrained plaid that feels crisp and tailored in both upholstery and curtains.

Pairs well with

Fen Plaid Blue 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.
