About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, this fabric has the relaxed, natural handle you expect from a true linen cloth, with a visible dry texture that keeps the check looking grounded. The repeat is approximately V 24cm and H 17cm, giving the pattern a clear mid-scale presence without feeling overpowering. In this colourway, the blue is deliberately muted and greyed, so the lighter ground stays soft rather than stark and the crossing lines feel quietly tailored. It is suited to both upholstery and drapery, and the BM fire code makes it a practical choice for residential and contract schemes where a classic check is needed.

How to use it

Use it for country-house curtains, armchairs or a coordinated slipcover scheme where the subdued blue can sit comfortably with oak, painted wood and aged brass. The cool-but-muted tone also layers well with chalky neutrals and stone shades.

A softly weathered check that works neatly on tailored seating or classic curtains.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Lamorna Check Blue without fighting it. 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.
