About this fabric

Woven in 78% polyester and 22% cotton, Balmoral FR Oxford Blue comes in a practical 140cm width with a 32cm vertical repeat and 35.5cm horizontal repeat. The check reads as a refined tartan rather than a bold statement, with pale silver-grey squares balancing the darker oxford blue bands. Fine white pinstripes sharpen the grid, while soft blue lines add a restrained wash of colour across the design. The overall effect is fresh, ordered and slightly heritage in mood, with enough visual interest to hold its own on seating, blinds or curtains.

How to use it

Use it to bring structure to a relaxed country scheme, or pair it with painted timber, oatmeal linens and dark wood for a smarter layered interior. The cool blue-grey palette works especially well where you want pattern without heaviness.

A cool plaid that brings tailored character to upholstery or curtains.

Pairs well with

Balmoral FR Oxford Blue 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.
