Chesil Fabric

Strata Denim shows a neatly stepped check in deep blue, softened by lighter, almost olive-tinted accents. The woven surface has a textured, cloth-like look that feels tailored rather than bold.

About this fabric

Part of Linwood’s Chesil collection, Strata Denim is a fixed upholstery fabric with a 137cm width and a 18cm vertical pattern repeat. The composition blends 48% viscose, 25% cotton, 21% linen and 6% polyester, giving the cloth its slightly dry, grounded handle and the visible depth in the blue ground. In this colourway, the base reads as a dark denim navy with a muted, cooler cast, while the small linear motifs add a restrained yellow-green note that lifts the check without making it bright. With a 30,000 Martindale rub test and FR rating to BS5852 Part 1 Source 0 and 1, it suits contract and general domestic upholstery where pattern and practicality both matter. Dry clean care helps preserve the texture and the crisp geometry of the design.

How to use it

Use Strata Denim on a sofa, dining chairs or a tailored banquette where its dark blue ground can anchor the room. It pairs especially well with pale timber, chalky neutrals and brushed metal finishes to keep the check feeling sharp.

A tailored blue check that feels crisp and dependable on seating.

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.
