Balmoral FR Duck Egg

Balmoral FR Fabric

Balmoral FR Duck Egg shows a soft, airy blue ground lifted by pale green and cream checks, with deep brown lines giving the pattern definition. The overall effect is fresh and calm rather than vivid, with a lightly brushed woven look.

About this fabric

This Porter & Stone fabric is 140cm wide and made from 78% polyester and 22% cotton, with a 32cm vertical repeat and 35.5cm horizontal repeat. The check reads as a classic tartan-inspired design, but the duck egg colourway softens it into a lighter, more relaxed palette. Pale blue dominates the ground, while sage-tinged green and ivory intersections brighten the grid and the darker brown lines add crisp contrast. It has a dry, textile-led surface that feels suited to everyday interiors, and the BQV1< care instruction should be followed for maintenance.

How to use it

Use this colourway for armchairs, dining chairs or relaxed loose covers where the cool blue can keep a room feeling open and bright. It also works well at the window with chalky whites, willow green accents and weathered oak.

Pair with pale woods and warm neutrals for a fresh, easy country look.

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.
