Kali Check Red/Blue

Hartwell FabricJ875F-06

Kali Check Red/Blue is a neat small-scale gingham in clear red and blue, softened by a pale ground that keeps the pattern feeling bright and orderly. The tight cotton weave gives the colourway a fresh, slightly nostalgic character.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% cotton, Kali Check Red/Blue has a compact checked repeat with a vertical repeat of approximately 11cm and a horizontal repeat of approximately 12cm, making the pattern read evenly across larger pieces. The red stripes are vivid and slightly warm, while the blue sits cooler and more restrained against the pale ground, creating a crisp contrast without feeling harsh. At approximately 136cm wide, it offers a practical width for both tailored upholstery and simple curtain-making. The surface has the dry, natural handle expected of cotton, so the check keeps a clean, matt appearance rather than a glossy finish.

How to use it

Use this red-and-blue check on a country kitchen blind, relaxed curtains, or a small armchair where the neat scale can add energy without overwhelming the room. It pairs especially well with painted timber, cream walls, and plain linens.

A crisp small check that brings a fresh, country-house feel to chairs or curtains.

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.
