About this fabric

The surface shows a neat windowpane check, with subtle blue-grey lines crossing panels of tiny diagonal herringbone texture. Light catches the raised weave gently, creating a fine tonal shift rather than a bold contrast. Catalogued as a Fabric, with no performance features noted, Craigie Vale Opal has a versatile mid-weight appearance suited to both upholstery and drapery. Its cool, misted colour gives the design a calm, quietly tailored character.

How to use it

Pair this pale blue-grey opal colourway with chalky whites, soft greys and weathered timber for a fresh, relaxed scheme. Use the medium-scale check on an occasional chair or curtains where its fine herringbone texture can be seen at close range.

Use this cool opal check to bring light structure to upholstery, cushions or relaxed 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.
