Beachcomber Fair Isle

Beachcomber Fair Isle has a warm, softly weathered interpretation of the classic check. Its oatmeal-taupe ground is crossed by fine charcoal-grey and cream lines, creating a gently layered plaid with a tactile woven appearance.

About this fabric

This medium-scale plaid combines broad oatmeal-taupe bands with slender charcoal-grey and cream lines, giving the surface a softly defined checked structure. The warm neutral colouring is muted rather than stark, with subtle tonal variation that adds depth across the weave. Made from 100% wool and approximately 137cm wide, it is specified for curtains and fixed upholstery. The supplied upholstery grades are Contract and General Domestic, and the after-care instruction is dry clean.

How to use it

Use the warm oatmeal-taupe ground to soften a traditional armchair, banquette or window treatment, pairing it with creamy linens, aged timber and charcoal accents that pick up the fine darker lines.

The warm oatmeal-taupe check brings a softly weathered, relaxed character to curtains, seating and fixed upholstery.

Pairs well with

Beachcomber Fair Isle 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.
