Lanark Plaid Blue

About this fabric

This Lanark Plaid Blue from the Lisle collection is woven in 100% wool and comes in an approximate 138cm width, with a repeat of V 11.5cm / H 12cm. The fabric reads as a dark, cool navy rather than a bright blue, so the check feels understated and architectural. Fine greyed lines lift the plaid just enough to keep the design visible without breaking the cloth's quiet depth. With care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM, it is a practical wool furnishing fabric suited to classic, well-finished interiors.

How to use it

Use this blue plaid on an armchair, cushion set or bench upholstery where the pattern can sit against painted timber, tan leather or oatmeal wool. Its cool navy base works especially well in rooms that need structure without a harsh contrast.

A tailored blue plaid that brings quiet structure and a classic country-house feel.

Pairs well with

Lanark Plaid Blue is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
