About this fabric

This Hartwell fabric by Jane Churchill is woven in 100% cotton and has an approximate width of 135cm, with a vertical and horizontal repeat of 5cm. The check is small and regular, creating a tidy grid that feels sharper than rustic thanks to the bright red lines and pale neutral ground. In the swatch, the red appears clear and slightly cool rather than brick-toned, giving the fabric a fresher, more playful look. Its cotton handle and moderate scale make it a practical choice for everyday furnishing where pattern needs to stay orderly and easy to live with.

How to use it

Pair this red check with painted timber, cream walls, and simple ticking or stripe accents for a classic cottage look. It also works well as a lively contrast against calm neutrals and pale woods.

Use for neat country-style upholstery or light curtains where a crisp checked finish feels fresh.

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.
