About this fabric

This colourway combines chestnut brown and hazel tones in a restrained windowpane check. Fine dark lines divide the fabric into regular rectangular sections, while the visible weave creates a softly grainy, matte texture. The cloth reads as a versatile mid-weight textile suited to both upholstery and drapery; no performance features are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use the warm chestnut tone to add depth to a neutral room, particularly on a tailored armchair, upholstered headboard or full-length curtain. Pair it with creamy linens, aged timber and deeper tobacco or olive accents to reinforce its earthy character.

A tailored chestnut windowpane check that brings quiet structure to upholstery, curtains or cushions.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Engawa Reversible Chestnut Hazel 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.
