About this fabric

The tartan is built on a dark navy ground, with broad blue-grey checks and narrower intersecting lines creating clear depth across the surface. Pale blue stripes catch the light against the darker field, giving the colourway a crisp, cool contrast rather than a warm or muted brown cast. A fine diagonal twill texture is visible throughout the weave, adding definition to the straight-set plaid pattern. The structured look makes this fabric particularly well suited to tailored upholstery where the medium-scale checks can remain clearly legible.

How to use it

Use this cool navy colourway on a buttoned chair, window seat or compact sofa, balancing its blue-grey checks with chalky walls, brushed metal and light natural wood.

Pair the cool navy and blue-grey checks with tailored upholstery and calm, pale timber tones.

Pairs well with

Strathclyde, Blue Anc 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.
