Dovedale Ochre

Misc Fabric

Dovedale Ochre pairs a soft ochre check with a light, airy ground for a relaxed country look. The woven plaid reads gentle rather than bold, with pale cream, muted green-grey and golden lines crossing throughout.

About this fabric

This Porter & Stone fabric is supplied at 137cm wide, with an 18cm pattern repeat and a blend of 64% polyester, 18% cotton, 9% viscose and 9% linen. In this colourway, the check feels sun-warmed and softly faded, with ochre bands lifted by pale neutral ground and fine green-grey striping. The weave has a dry, cloth-like texture that keeps the pattern looking casual and easy to live with. NQT1 care makes it a practical choice for everyday interiors where a checked design is wanted without excessive sheen.

How to use it

Use Dovedale Ochre on loose upholstery, cushions or simple curtains where the warm yellow note can soften timber, rattan and painted joinery. It works particularly well in rooms with cream walls and natural textures, where the check adds gentle structure without feeling heavy.

A warm ochre check that brightens cottages, country homes and easy layered schemes.

Pairs well with

Dovedale Ochre 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.
