About this fabric

Woven in 78% Polyester and 22% Cotton, Balmoral FR Cardinal is a 140cm-wide fabric with a 32cm vertical and 35.5cm horizontal repeat. The swatch shows a large-scale plaid in cardinal red, brick, beige and fine charcoal lines, with the warmer red bands creating a stronger visual rhythm across the lighter ground. The surface reads as a practical woven cloth rather than a pile fabric, so the design feels crisp and structured in the image. Care code BQV1< is supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use this red-and-beige check to bring warmth to country-style chairs, banquettes or cushions, where the bold plaid can hold its own. It also suits relaxed curtains or blinds when you want a room to feel cosy and traditional without going dark.

A bold tartan check that works well on relaxed upholstery or statement drapes.

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.
