About this fabric

The colourway reads as a warm, earthy grey with taupe-brown depth rather than a clean or silvery grey. Broad cream bands form the main check, while narrower charcoal and off-white lines create crisp intersections across the cloth. The visible weave slightly softens the contrast, allowing the pattern to feel considered and tailored rather than stark. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Dalwhinnie Peat to upholster a traditional armchair or footstool, where its peat-grey depth and structured plaid can anchor warmer timber and leather. It also suits relaxed curtains or cushions when a room needs a quiet country-house check.

Use the muted peat-grey ground to bring a quiet, tailored feel to upholstery, curtains or cushions.

Pairs well with

Dalwhinnie Peat 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.
