About this fabric

This woven check shows a softly heathered surface, with the red and blue lines sitting slightly muted rather than sharp or glossy. The design is repeated in an approximate vertical 29cm and horizontal 28cm repeat, giving it a generous tartan-like presence across the cloth. At approximately 141cm wide, and in a blend of 45% viscose, 35% cotton, 16% linen and 4% polyester, it has the look of a substantial decorative textile with a natural, textured handle. The colourway balances blue-green depth with brick-red warmth, so the overall effect is rustic but still polished.

How to use it

Use this colourway where you want pattern and colour to carry the room, especially on an armchair, ottoman or loose cover. Its teal ground keeps the red accents from feeling too festive, making it easy to pair with oak, walnut and aged brass.

A lively tartan-style check with a smart heritage feel, softened by the linen-rich weave.

Pairs well with

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