About this fabric

The design is formed from intersecting horizontal and vertical lines, creating a regular check that remains delicate rather than bold. Soft yellow threads bring warmth, while the taupe-grey lines introduce a muted, lightly weathered depth across the surface. The close, fine weave reads as light and suitable for drapery, with the pale ground allowing the pattern to stay visually open. No performance features are noted in the supplied data.

How to use it

Use Rua Yellow at windows where its soft yellow tone can warm a pale neutral room without becoming bright or dominant. Pair it with chalky whites, warm grey and natural timber to pick up the check’s restrained taupe detail.

A light, tailored check for curtains, blinds and relaxed window treatments.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Rua Yellow 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.
