Balmoral Cherry

Misc Fabric

Balmoral Cherry shows a classic tartan check in bright cherry red, softened by heathered grey and taupe ground tones. The woven surface gives the pattern a clear, slightly rustic edge that feels cheerful rather than heavy.

About this fabric

This Porter & Stone fabric is a 78% polyester and 22% cotton blend, with a 140cm width and a 32cm vertical by 35.5cm horizontal repeat. The colourway pairs vivid cherry red bands with cool grey ground squares and fine brownish lines, creating a sharp plaid that reads clean and graphic from a distance. Up close, the weave has a lightly textured, woolly look that tempers the brightness of the red. It feels lively and approachable, with enough structure to suit either upholstery or curtains in a relaxed interior.

How to use it

Use this colourway to bring warmth to painted wood, natural oak, and simple striped or plain linens. Its red-and-grey balance works especially well in country kitchens, snug window seats, or a casual armchair that needs a strong focal point.

A vivid tartan that adds a crisp, country-house accent to relaxed interiors.

Pairs well with

Balmoral Cherry 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.
