About this fabric

The design is built from broad cream crossing lines that form windowpane squares, with diagonal twill-like striping visible within the grey and charcoal areas. The undyed wool collection identity is reflected in the naturally muted palette, where flecks of light and dark soften the contrast rather than creating a sharp graphic check. A fuzzy, raised surface catches the light unevenly, making the charcoal sections appear particularly deep beside the chalkier cream bands. No performance features or further specification data are supplied for this fabric, so project suitability should be assessed against the intended application.

How to use it

Use Balvenie on a generous armchair, ottoman or traditional sofa where its charcoal depth can anchor a room without making the scheme feel stark. Pair the cream lines with warm timber, stone and other natural textures for a calm, country-leaning interior.

A tactile charcoal and cream check with a softly brushed appearance, well suited to relaxed upholstered pieces.

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.
