Picnic Cracker has a warm cream ground crossed by a fine beige check, creating a softly textured, closely spaced surface. Its dense woven appearance gives the colourway a calm, casual character.

About this fabric

The tiny check is built from alternating cream and beige threads, with the pale ground keeping the overall effect light rather than strongly contrasted. Viewed close up, the weave reads as a neat, compact grid with a subtle textile texture rather than a bold graphic pattern. This colourway is catalogued as an Outdoor fabric, making it a considered choice for outdoor upholstery. Its warm neutral tone sits comfortably alongside natural wood, pale stone and deeper earthy accents.

How to use it

Use Picnic Cracker on relaxed outdoor seating where its warm cream-beige tone can brighten the setting without looking stark. Pair it with teak, rattan or terracotta accessories to draw out the weave’s gentle warmth.

A warm, closely woven small check for relaxed outdoor upholstery schemes.

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.
