Dunmore Check Aqua/Tomato

Dunmore Check Aqua/Tomato shows a crisp woven check in soft aqua, lifted by clear tomato-red lines. The colourway feels fresh and airy, with the red giving the pattern a sharper, more upbeat edge.

About this fabric

This Magnus Checks fabric has a medium-scale check with a light, open cloth that reads as versatile rather than heavy. The composition is 45% viscose, 35% cotton, 16% linen and 4% polyester, and the cloth is approximately 141cm wide with a vertical repeat of 29cm and horizontal repeat of 28cm. In this colourway, the aqua ground stays cool and pale, while the tomato stripes sit brighter and more saturated, creating a clean contrast without looking overly dark. The visible weave has a linen-rich, softly textured surface that keeps the check from feeling flat. Care code Q 8 < T 3 and fire code √CH are supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use it where the aqua can soften stronger tones, such as a bedroom blind, a loose chair cover or a tailored cushion set. The tomato-red check is lively enough to add character to pale timber, painted joinery or white walls.

Fresh aqua ground with bright tomato-red checks works well for casual upholstery or curtains.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Dunmore Check Aqua/Tomato 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.
