Balmoral FR Cloud

Balmoral FR Fabric

Balmoral FR Cloud shows a classic tartan check in soft cloud grey, warmed by taupe and oatmeal lines that keep the pattern from feeling flat. The large-scale grid reads calm and tailored, with a clean woven texture visible across the swatch.

About this fabric

This colourway combines a cool, misty grey ground with deeper taupe-brown checks and pale ivory striping, giving the design a quiet, slightly weathered character. The woven surface has a crisp, matte handle in the image, which helps the pattern feel structured rather than heavy. It is made from 78% Polyester and 22% Cotton, measures 140cm wide, and has a 32cm vertical by 35.5cm horizontal pattern repeat. That repeat gives the check a confident, room-facing scale, while the FR collection styling and BQV1< care code make it a practical choice for everyday interiors.

How to use it

Use Cloud with natural oak, brushed steel, and pale linen to keep the palette fresh and restrained. It also suits club chairs, cushions, or softly tailored curtains where the grey ground can sit comfortably with both warm and cool accents.

A restrained tartan check that works beautifully on tailored upholstery or relaxed curtains.

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