About this fabric
Woven in 100% linen, Jay Check Old Blue has the crisp, slightly dry handle you would expect from a natural cloth, with a 1cm vertical and horizontal repeat that keeps the pattern restrained and regular. The colour reads as a muted old blue, softened further by pale grey and understated neutral threads, so the check feels cool rather than vivid. At approximately 152cm wide, it is a practical fabric for both upholstery and drapery, depending on the finish you want. The overall effect is understated and classic, with enough structure to suit furniture and enough lightness for blinds or relaxed curtains.
How to use it
Use it to bring a tailored, country-house feel to a bedroom, study or sitting room, especially against chalky white paintwork and weathered wood. The cool old blue works beautifully with cream linen, soft oak and muted stone accents.
A quiet, small-scale check that works well on tailored upholstery or soft window treatments.

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.
