Balmoral FR Fabric

Balmoral FR Chambray is a soft, country-style check with a cool chambray blue ground and lighter sand-toned crossings. The woven texture keeps the pattern looking crisp rather than flat.

About this fabric

This Porter & Stone fabric is 140cm wide and composed of 78% polyester and 22% cotton, with a 32cm vertical repeat and 35.5cm horizontal repeat. The check combines slate-blue blocks with pale taupe, oatmeal and soft gold stripes, creating a restrained but lively tartan effect. In the image, the blue reads slightly dusty and muted, so the overall mood feels relaxed rather than sharp or nautical. The weave has a lightly textured, practical look that suits a fabric intended for everyday interiors. Care code BQV1< should be followed for this exact colourway.

How to use it

Use it for upholstered dining chairs, a bench cushion or relaxed curtains where the muted blue can anchor a room without feeling heavy. It pairs neatly with weathered timber, painted whites and stone-grey accents.

A cool blue check that brings an easy country-house feel to seating or curtains.

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