About this fabric

The colourway combines saturated cherry and wine-red bands with near-black charcoal lines and softly contrasting cream blocks. Its medium-scale plaid is built from broad checks, narrow overstripes and fine diagonal yarns, creating depth where the red bands overlap the darker ground. The dense woven appearance makes it best suited to upholstery rather than a lightweight, fluid curtain cloth. No performance features are noted in the supplied catalogue information.

How to use it

Use Gigha Cherry on a compact armchair, window seat or occasional sofa where its deep red tone can anchor a room. Pair the tartan with warm timber, aged leather and cream-painted details to pick up the lighter checks without losing its moody depth.

A richly woven cherry tartan that brings tailored country character to upholstered seating.

Gigha Cherry 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.
