About this fabric

Broad teal and navy bands cross a near-black ground, creating a cool, low-lit colourway with a distinctly graphic character. The medium-scale checks remain clearly defined, while the dark palette keeps the overall effect restrained rather than bright. A fine diagonal twill texture is visible throughout the cloth, adding movement across the solid-looking blocks. No performance features are noted for this fabric, so its suitability should be assessed against the intended upholstery application.

How to use it

Use Black Watch, Mod on a statement chair, ottoman or sofa where its dark teal and navy checks can anchor a room. Pair it with near-black painted details, deep blue accents or quieter plain textiles to let the tartan retain its strong pattern definition.

Use this deep, cool tartan to bring graphic structure and layered teal-blue colour to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Black Watch, Mod 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.
