About this fabric

The pattern is a medium-scale plaid made from overlapping blocks and narrow lines, with the cool blue-green and blue-grey areas softened by warm brown and oatmeal cream. Its muted eau de nil ground reads calm rather than bright, while the tobacco-brown crossings add definition and depth. The close weave and substantial appearance make this colourway best suited to upholstery. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification data.

How to use it

Pair the cool eau de nil and blue-grey checks with chalky walls, aged timber and warm tan leather, allowing the brown lines in the plaid to connect the scheme. It would give a tailored, quietly rustic finish to a chair, bench or compact sofa.

Use this muted blue-green plaid to bring tailored country character to upholstered seating and occasional chairs.

Burford - Eau De Nil 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.
