Beachcomber Isle of May

Beachcomber Isle of May is a softly textured plaid woven in a layered palette of dusty mauve, tobacco brown, olive and charcoal. Fine intersecting lines add definition to the broader checks without making the colourway feel busy.

About this fabric

The muted mauve ground gives this wool check a cool, weathered quality, while brown, olive and charcoal bands add earthy depth; occasional ochre lines bring a restrained lift. Its medium-scale plaid is clearly defined but softened by the slightly irregular, tactile look of the weave. Made from 100% wool at approximately 137cm wide, it is specified for curtains and fixed upholstery and carries Contract and General Domestic upholstery grades. After-care is dry clean.

How to use it

Use Isle of May on a reading chair, sofa or fixed seat where its mauve-and-earth palette can soften timber and leather, or make relaxed curtains that echo olive and brown accents elsewhere in the room.

Pairs well with

Beachcomber Isle of May 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.
