Misc Fabric

Melrose Ochre pairs a soft, washed ochre ground with fine taupe checks and darker charcoal pinstripes. The result is a relaxed plaid with a woven, lightly heathered look that feels warm rather than brash.

About this fabric

This Porter & Stone fabric is composed of 83% polyester and 17% cotton, giving the cloth a practical mixed-fibre handle with a clearly textured woven surface. At 140cm wide and with a 35cm pattern repeat, the design reads as a generous check rather than a petite tartan. In this colourway, the ochre lines sit over a pale neutral base, so the pattern feels sunny and earthy, while the darker stripes keep it grounded. The herringbone-like weave detail softens the overall effect and adds depth when the light catches the surface.

How to use it

Use Melrose Ochre to bring warmth to a country-inspired sofa, occasional chair or bench cushion, especially alongside oak, aged brass and cream paint. It also works well for full-length curtains where the ochre check can read softly against daylight.

A warm ochre check that adds easy country character to either curtains or upholstered accents.

Pairs well with

Melrose 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.
