About this fabric

The design is a medium-scale plaid built from broad olive-grey and warm grey checks, fine cream overchecks and subtle beige-taupe variation. The restrained, weathered palette reads cool and calm overall, while the taupe ground keeps it softer than a black-and-white tartan. Close inspection shows a gently napped, woven surface that gives the intersecting lines a slightly softened edge. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this quietly layered colourway on a relaxed armchair, footstool or full-length curtains, pairing its taupe-grey base with warm ivory, aged oak and deep olive accents. The darker plaid bands can also echo charcoal or weathered green in cushions and painted joinery.

A softly structured taupe-grey plaid that brings quiet country character to upholstery, curtains and cushions.

Pairs well with

Grantown Lapwing 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.
