Misc Fabric
Melrose Heather is a softly tailored check with a pale ground and muted plum crossing stripes. The herringbone texture gives the pattern a dry, woven look that feels classic rather than sharp.

About this fabric
This Porter & Stone fabric is 140cm wide and made from 83% polyester and 17% cotton, with a 35cm pattern repeat and care code BQV1<. The swatch shows a calm heathered base in warm grey-beige, lifted by plum and olive-toned checks that read more brushed and lived-in than crisp. Its herringbone weave softens the tartan lines and gives the darker stripes a slightly shadowed edge. The overall effect is restrained and decorative, with enough contrast to register clearly without feeling loud.
How to use it
Use Melrose Heather to bring a quieter country-house note to armchairs, ottomans or a bench seat, where the plum lines can add interest against timber and neutral paintwork. It would also sit well at the window in a room with dusty greens, warm stone and aged brass.
A muted tartan with a soft plum accent that feels easy and tailored.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Melrose Heather without fighting it. 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.
