About this fabric

Woven in 78% polyester and 22% cotton, this 140cm-wide fabric has a practical mixed-fibre handle that suits everyday interiors. The pattern repeat is 32cm vertical by 35.5cm horizontal, creating a confident large-scale check with clear navy-black ground, silver-white pinstripes, and vivid azure crossings. The cooler blue tones are lifted by olive accents, so the design feels sharper and more modern than a traditional muted tartan. Care instructions are BQV1<, making it straightforward to specify for a coordinated scheme.

How to use it

Use this colourway for statement armchairs, dining seats, or boxed cushions where the blue checks can anchor a room. It pairs well with pale oak, gunmetal, and off-white walls for a crisp, tailored look.

Bold checks in cool azure and olive bring easy tartan character to relaxed interiors.

Pairs well with

Balmoral FR Azure 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.
