Gigha Lilac is a softly coloured plaid woven in cool lilac, slate blue and charcoal, with pale cream blocks bringing light into the design. Fine green and burgundy lines sharpen the checks without making the colourway feel bright.

About this fabric

The large-scale check is built from closely spaced diagonal yarns, giving the surface a clearly woven, tactile appearance. Lilac and blue-violet squares dominate the swatch, while charcoal bands add depth and the cream sections create a gentle contrast. Narrow green and burgundy overchecks bring a subtle woodland, heathered quality to the otherwise cool palette. No further specification data is supplied for this fabric, so its final suitability should be confirmed against the intended upholstery or drapery application.

How to use it

Use Gigha Lilac to bring a quiet Highland-inspired note to a reading chair, bench or full-length curtain, pairing it with warm ivory, soft grey and weathered timber. Its cool violet tone also sits comfortably with muted sage and deep charcoal accents.

A cool lilac tartan with cream, slate, charcoal, green and burgundy lines, suited to relaxed upholstery or curtains.

Pairs well with

Gigha Lilac 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.
