About this fabric

The pattern combines broad pale-grey blocks with charcoal bands and finer parallel lines, creating the look of a traditional tartan-inspired check. The charcoal elements add depth without making the overall colourway feel black, while the pale ground keeps the design fresh and legible. A close view reveals a fine woven texture across the face, with subtle variation that softens the geometry. As a fabric rather than a wallpaper, it is well suited to upholstery and drapery applications where a structured check is wanted.

How to use it

Use this cool charcoal-and-grey colourway on an occasional chair, footstool or pair of curtains, then echo its pale grey ground with plain upholstery and add warmer timber or leather accents for contrast.

A cool, tonal tartan-style check that brings structured pattern to upholstery, cushions or curtains.

Pairs well with

Dalwhinnie 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.
