About this fabric

The design combines dark blue vertical and horizontal lines with finer grey and olive checks, giving the surface a layered grid rather than a single flat colour. Ivory ground areas soften the contrast, while the blue reads as cool and slightly muted rather than bright or saturated. The visible weave gives the plaid a lightly textured, textile-led appearance. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Rua Blue where a room needs cool, orderly pattern: on a tailored armchair, seat cushion or simple curtain, paired with ivory and soft grey furnishings to draw out its lighter checks.

Use this cool blue plaid to bring tailored structure to upholstery, cushions or relaxed window treatments.

Pairs well with

Rua Blue 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.
