About this fabric

This Colefax and Fowler fabric from the Magnus Checks collection has a medium-scale plaid repeat of approximately 24cm by 24cm, giving the check a calm, regular rhythm across the cloth. The weave reads matte and softly textured, with the red appearing earthy and sun-warmed while the green sits back as an understated sage. Woven in 46% viscose, 32% cotton, 18% linen and 4% polyester, it has the relaxed handle you would expect from a natural-fibre blend with a little added stability. At approximately 143cm wide, it is well suited to curtains as well as light upholstery where a classic checked pattern is wanted. The √CH fire code and care code Q 8 < T 3 are part of the supplied specification for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use this colourway in a country sitting room, study or boot room where its warm red reads inviting rather than formal. The softened green checks work especially well with oak, painted timber and aged brass.

A warm checked cloth that brings an easy country feel to upholstery or curtains.

Pairs well with

Carrick Plaid Red/Green 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.
