Balmoral Amethyst

Misc Fabric

Balmoral Amethyst shows a classic tartan check in a rich plum and amethyst palette, lifted by slender pale lines and warm yellow-green accents. The result feels tailored and full-bodied, with a slightly rustic weave that catches the light softly.

About this fabric

This Porter & Stone fabric is 140cm wide and made from 78% polyester and 22% cotton, giving the cloth a practical blend with a soft, textile feel. The 32cm vertical repeat and 35.5cm horizontal repeat create a bold check that reads clearly across the surface. In this colourway, the ground sits in a muted mauve-plum while brighter magenta and olive-gold stripes bring sharper contrast and depth. The overall effect is smart but not severe, with a warm, autumnal richness that feels more luxurious than bright.

How to use it

Use Balmoral Amethyst where you want a statement check with depth, such as a tailored armchair, cushions, or full-length curtains. Its plum base and contrasting green-gold lines work especially well with walnut wood, aged brass, and deep neutral paints.

A lively tartan-style check that brings rich colour and tailored character to both curtains and upholstery.

Pairs well with

Balmoral Amethyst 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.
