About this fabric

Broad checks and intersecting bands create a balanced plaid, with olive-green blocks deepening the lighter oatmeal and taupe grounds. Fine pale lines and subtle grey sections break up the larger checks without making the colourway feel busy. The visible weave has a grainy, slightly brushed character that adds depth as the light moves across the surface. This is catalogued as a fabric, with no performance features noted in the supplied information.

How to use it

Use the lichen-olive and oatmeal balance on a relaxed armchair, sofa or full-length curtain, pairing it with warm timber, aged leather and softly chalky neutrals. The muted green reads particularly well where natural light can pick out the woven texture.

Its muted lichen, oatmeal and taupe checks bring a softly weathered, tactile layer to seating or curtains.

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.
