Danube Check Sky

Danube Fabric

Danube Check Sky brings a cool, washed blue-green check to the surface, with pale lilac and taupe threads softening the pattern. The linen weave is visibly fine and lightly lustrous as the swatch catches the light.

About this fabric

Woven from 100% linen and supplied at approximately 137cm wide, Danube Check Sky is specified for curtains. Its medium-scale checks combine muted sky blue and aqua with taupe and delicate lilac undertones, creating a softened plaid rather than a sharply contrasting one. The fine weave shows subtle tonal variation as the light moves across the fabric, giving the cool colourway gentle depth. After-care is dry clean.

How to use it

Use this cool sky-blue and aqua colourway for full-length curtains where its softened checks can filter light without feeling stark. Echo the taupe and lilac notes with pale timber, warm grey or dusty lavender accents.

A cool, muted check for curtains, bringing softly layered sky-blue, aqua and taupe tones to a room.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Danube Check Sky without fighting it. 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.
