About this fabric

This fabric is woven in a 40% viscose, 39% linen and 21% polyester blend, with an approximate width of 141cm and a repeat of V 36cm / H 35cm. The visible weave has a linen-like texture that keeps the plaid from feeling flat, while the navy base reads as muted rather than glossy. Teal squares sit alongside misty grey-blue and soft beige lines, so the design has depth without becoming high contrast. The result is a smart check that feels restrained and usable, with enough structure for upholstery and enough softness for drapery.

How to use it

Use it to bring a cool, composed note to an armchair, banquette or fitted blind. The navy and teal tones pair well with pale oak, chalky paint colours and brushed metal finishes.

A cool, tailored check that works neatly on upholstered pieces or relaxed curtains.

Donovan Plaid Navy/Teal 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.
