Lisle Check Red shows a refined burgundy ground crossed with fine red check lines. The result is a warm, tailored tartan-style look with a softly brushed depth rather than a bright, crisp contrast.

About this fabric

Woven in 80% Wool and 20% Polyamide, this fabric has the reassuring body and warmth you would expect from a practical wool blend, while the polyamide adds durability. The check is set on a deep wine-brown base, with narrow red lines forming a medium-scale grid that reads clearly but not loudly. Its 16cm vertical and 14.5cm horizontal repeat gives the pattern enough presence for upholstery, cushions, or structured drapery, and the 144cm width makes it straightforward to work into larger furnishings. The surface appears matte and slightly heathered, which softens the red and gives the colourway a richer, more subdued finish.

How to use it

Use this colourway to bring warmth to a study, drawing room, or country house interior, especially alongside dark wood, leather, or aged brass. The burgundy ground keeps the check feeling grounded and smart, while the red lines add just enough lift for layered schemes.

A warm, tailored check that adds depth without overpowering a room.

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