Galloway Plaid Red/Sand

Galloway Plaid Red/Sand shows a classic tartan across a warm, burnished red ground, threaded with sand, olive and muted green checks. The wool surface gives the pattern a soft, heathered look rather than a sharp, flat finish.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% wool, this fabric has the weight and handle to suit upholstery, with a repeat of approximately V 30cm and H 25.5cm and an approximate width of 152cm. The red ground reads deep and earthy, while the crossing stripes bring in sand, olive and darker green accents that soften the overall effect. The weave appears lightly brushed and slightly rustic, which suits the traditional character of the plaid. Fire code √BH is noted for this exact cloth.

How to use it

Use it on an armchair, ottoman or dining seat to bring a warm tartan note into a study or country sitting room. The red-and-sand palette pairs especially well with dark timber, tan leather and understated natural linens.

A rich tartan that feels warm and traditional on a tailored armchair or bench.

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.
