Misc Fabric

Melrose Natural is shown as a softly woven check in warm ivory, taupe and pale beige. The pattern feels airy and understated, with the zigzag texture giving the stripes a gentle depth.

About this fabric

This Porter & Stone fabric is composed of 83% Polyester and 17% Cotton, with a 140cm width and a 35cm pattern repeat. In this colourway, the plaid reads as a muted natural ivory, lifted by faint taupe and stone-grey linework rather than strong contrast. The woven herringbone texture softens the check and gives it a lightly tactile, dry hand appearance. It feels calm and adaptable, with just enough pattern to add structure without overpowering a room. Care instructions: BQV1<.

How to use it

Use Melrose Natural on relaxed curtains, roman blinds or occasional upholstery where you want a pale, warm neutral with a little graphic rhythm. It pairs especially well with oak, linen, plaster and other soft natural finishes.

A quietly versatile check with a warm ivory ground and subtle woven definition.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Melrose Natural 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.
