About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, this fabric has an approximate 3cm vertical and horizontal repeat and an overall width of about 152cm. The small check reads as a balanced brick red against a pale cream ground, with the linen weave softening the contrast so it feels tailored rather than sharp. From the image, the colour sits in a muted terracotta-red family, giving the cloth warmth without becoming overly bright. It is catalogued as Fabric with no performance features noted, so its appeal lies in the natural handle and the classic, compact check.

How to use it

Use this colourway for cottage-style cushions, a skirted chair, or relaxed roman blinds where the small check can add texture without dominating the room. Its warm brick tone pairs especially well with painted timber, oatmeal linens, and aged brass.

A warm gingham check that brings a relaxed, country feel to upholstery or loose drapery.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Minack Check Brick 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.
