Kintyre FR Chambray

Alderney Fabric

Kintyre FR Chambray shows a classic checked layout with softened blue bars over a pale ground. The weave reads textured and practical, with the chambray blue giving the design a cool, settled feel.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% polyester and 140cm wide, this Fabric has a useful, everyday handle suited to schemes that need pattern without fuss. The check combines pale ivory fields, denim-blue lines and deeper navy accents, so the overall effect is crisp but not stark. In the larger squares, the blue appears slightly heathered and mottled, which softens the geometry and keeps it from feeling too sharp. The NQT1 care code indicates a straightforward specification for a made-to-use textile rather than a delicate decorative cloth.

How to use it

Use this colourway to bring a relaxed country-house note to sofas, benches or loose covers, especially where its cool blue feels fresh against oak and painted timber. It also works well for tailored curtains or Roman blinds when you want the check to stay visible without overpowering the room.

A fresh blue check that feels easy and tailored, especially against pale wood or natural linens.

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