About this fabric

The medium-scale checks alternate between cool opal blue and near-charcoal grounds, with the darker sections reading slightly warm and brown-black in the close-up. A softly brushed, tactile surface diffuses the edges of the checks rather than making them look crisp or graphic. The deep, muted palette gives this colourway a composed, tailored character while retaining the familiar informality of gingham. No performance features or further specification data are supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Callanish Gingham Opal on a reading chair, bench or relaxed curtain where its smoky blue tone can sit alongside charcoal, weathered timber and soft grey upholstery. Keep surrounding patterns restrained so the subtly shaded check remains the defining detail.

Use the deep opal-blue and charcoal checks to bring quiet pattern and cool, tailored depth to upholstery or curtains.

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.
