About this fabric

This colourway combines deep charcoal blocks, soft grey sections and narrow pale stripes, creating a clear plaid with strong contrast and a slightly brushed visual texture. The pattern repeat is 35cm vertical by 34.5cm horizontal, so the check presents in a substantial, well-spaced scale across the width. Woven in 100% polyester and supplied at 140cm wide, it is a practical fabric for statement pieces that need a neat, structured look. The tone feels cool and contemporary, with the lighter bands lifting the darker ground without making it feel bright.

How to use it

Pair it with painted timber, brushed steel and plain linens if you want the check to stay the focus. Its charcoal and pale-grey palette also works well against oatmeal upholstery or matte black accents.

Use for tailored upholstery or relaxed country-style cushions that need a crisp checked finish.

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.
