About this fabric

The design is formed from large charcoal and near-black checks, with warm taupe blocks introducing contrast across the darker ground. Fine muted plum lines run through the pattern, adding a subdued violet note rather than a bright accent. A compact diagonal twill texture is clearly visible across the swatch, giving the plaid a tactile, woven character. The dark, composed colour balance makes this colourway particularly suited to structured upholstery where the check can read clearly.

How to use it

Use the charcoal ground on a sofa, armchair or dining seat, pairing it with warm grey, weathered timber and plum-toned cushions. Taupe upholstery details or surrounding textiles will pick up the lighter blocks without diluting the depth of the plaid.

Pairs well with

Clunie Burn Charcoal 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.
