Melrose Indigo

Misc Fabric

Melrose Indigo shows a cool, tailored plaid with indigo-blue ground and softer pale bands crossing through the weave. The surface reads textured rather than flat, giving the checks a quietly layered look.

About this fabric

Woven in 83% polyester and 17% cotton, this fabric has a crisp, structured handle that suits both upholstery and drapery projects. The 140cm width makes it practical for larger furnishings, while the 35cm pattern repeat helps the checked layout keep its rhythm across a room. In this colourway, the indigo is softened with slate and grey notes, and the lighter stripes lift the design without making it feel bright. The result is a smart, slightly rustic plaid that feels grounded and versatile.

How to use it

Use it on a bench seat, occasional chair or tailored curtains where the cool indigo tones can sharpen pale walls and timber finishes. It pairs especially well with chalk white, putty and weathered oak.

A cool indigo check that feels tailored and easy to layer with linen, oak and pale neutrals.

Pairs well with

Melrose Indigo 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.
