Balmoral Sorbet

Misc Fabric

Balmoral Sorbet is a bright checked fabric with a lively mix of pink, aqua and soft neutral tones. The woven look gives the pattern a fresh, country-inspired character with plenty of lightness.

About this fabric

Woven in 78% polyester and 22% cotton, this fabric comes on a 140cm width with a 32cm vertical and 35.5cm horizontal repeat. The check reads as a crisp sorbet palette, with vivid pink stripes crossing cooler aqua bands over a pale cream and taupe ground. In the swatch, the colour balance feels airy rather than heavy, so the pattern has a cheerful clarity without looking overly saturated. The weave appears practical and relatively smooth, making the design easy to imagine on everyday soft furnishings as well as decorative drapes.

How to use it

Use it to lift a neutral interior with a playful shot of colour, especially alongside painted woodwork, painted stripes, or pale timber. It would bring a fresh, relaxed feel to cushions, occasional chairs, or café-style curtains.

Fresh, cheerful plaid that works well on relaxed upholstery or light curtains.

Pairs well with

Balmoral Sorbet 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.
