Kintyre FR Chestnut

Alderney Fabric

Kintyre FR Chestnut shows a large checked pattern in warm chestnut brown, softened by pale cream squares and darker charcoal lines. The weave has a tactile, slightly rustic look that gives the fabric a grounded, lived-in feel.

About this fabric

This Alderney collection fabric is made from 100% polyester and measures 140cm wide, making it a practical textile for a range of interior projects. In this colourway, the check reads as a warm chestnut brown with soft beige and cream blocks, while the darker grid lines sharpen the pattern without making it feel harsh. The surface has a dry, woven texture rather than a glossy finish, which helps the brown centre squares feel rich and earthy. It is a relaxed, easy-going check that still feels neatly structured on the fabric face.

How to use it

Pair this chestnut colourway with natural wood, tan leather, and quiet neutrals to bring out its warm undertones. It works especially well in informal sitting rooms, cottage-inspired schemes, or window treatments that need a cosy, tailored check.

Use it for a grounded country look with easy texture and a warm, tailored check.

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.
