Name: Callanish Gingham Chestnut

Callanish Gingham Chestnut brings together deep chestnut red and charcoal-black in a softly textured gingham check. Its dark, warm colour balance gives the pattern a grounded, quietly dramatic presence.

About this fabric

The image shows a compact check woven from alternating chestnut-red and near-black charcoal tones, with the darker squares giving the design considerable depth. A softly nubby surface breaks up the colour slightly, so the red reads as rich and mellow rather than bright or polished. The close, substantial-looking weave makes this colourway particularly convincing on upholstery, where its darker checks can add visual weight to a chair, footstool or sofa. No performance features or further specification data are supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use the warm chestnut tone on a statement armchair or bench, then echo its charcoal checks with dark timber, blackened metal and deep brown leather.

Pair the warm chestnut checks with dark wood, aged leather and softly lit, layered interiors.

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.
