Name: Craigie Vale Heather

Craigie Vale Heather combines a softly mottled taupe ground with a delicate plum-purple check. Its fine herringbone weave gives the surface a subtle directional texture, while the understated colour contrast keeps the pattern composed.

About this fabric

The fabric shown has a light taupe-to-warm-grey ground woven in a fine herringbone, creating a gently ridged surface that catches the light without appearing glossy. Muted plum-purple dotted lines run horizontally and vertically to form a broad, regular check, with slightly deeper colour at the intersections. This heathered combination reads as quiet and tailored rather than high-contrast, allowing the woven structure to carry much of the visual interest. No performance features are noted in the supplied information for this fabric.

How to use it

Pair Craigie Vale Heather with chalky neutrals, warm grey upholstery and softened plum accents for a calm, structured scheme. The restrained check can work across a tailored chair, cushions or relaxed curtains without overwhelming the room.

Use the soft taupe ground and restrained plum check to bring gentle definition to seating, cushions 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.
