About this fabric

The large-scale plaid is built from deep sapphire, brighter blue, pale blue and cream sections, with narrow mustard-yellow lines crossing the checks. A close diagonal weave is clearly visible across the swatch, giving the surface a tactile, structured appearance rather than a flat printed look. The saturated blue areas create depth, while the cream checks provide strong contrast and keep the overall colourway balanced. No performance features are noted for this fabric, and no further specification data has been supplied.

How to use it

Use Torridon Sapphire on a tailored armchair, ottoman or statement sofa where its saturated blue checks can anchor a room. Balance the cool sapphire and pale-blue tones with warm cream upholstery details, natural timber or small touches of brass to echo the yellow overcheck.

A substantial-looking sapphire plaid with cream, pale-blue and fine yellow detailing for tailored upholstery.

Torridon Sapphire 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.
