Porter & Stone

Balmoral FR Royal

Balmoral FR Fabric

Balmoral FR Royal shows a classic check softened by a washed, lightly brushed look. The pale cream ground, slate-blue bands and fine red pinstripes give it a crisp but easygoing country character.

About this fabric

This Porter & Stone fabric is woven in a 78% polyester, 22% cotton blend and measures 140cm wide, with a pattern repeat of 32cm vertical and 35.5cm horizontal. The design reads as a large plaid in cool blue tones over a warm cream base, with delicate red overchecks that add definition without making the cloth feel busy. The weave has a lightly textured, matte finish that keeps the blue areas soft rather than harsh, while the paler squares help the pattern feel open and airy. With no performance features noted, it is best chosen for decorative schemes where the checked design is the focus.

How to use it

Use this colourway for relaxed curtains, cushion covers or an upholstered bench where the blue and cream palette can brighten a room. It pairs neatly with painted wood, linen neutrals and deeper navy accents for a smart country look.

A fresh blue-and-cream check with fine red pinstripes for a classic country feel.

Pairs well with

Balmoral FR Royal 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.
