Hawes - Natural brings a quiet, softened plaid to the collection, with warm taupe-grey grounds crossed by broad ivory lines. Its lightly mottled surface keeps the check feeling relaxed rather than crisp or formal.

About this fabric

The design is a medium-scale check made up of broad, softly defined squares, with the ivory grid gently blending into the warm natural ground. Fine tonal variation across the weave gives the taupe shade a subtly cloudy depth, while the pale lines catch the light more clearly at the intersections. The cloth has a close, lightly textured woven appearance that reads as comfortable and understated rather than sleek. No composition, width or rub-test information has been supplied for this colourway; its visible mid-weight woven character makes it suitable to consider for both upholstery and drapery.

How to use it

Use Hawes - Natural to soften a sitting-room sofa, occasional chair or full-length curtain, pairing its warm taupe-grey base with chalky whites, oak, stone and muted sage. The ivory check can also provide a gentle structure behind plain cushions in natural linens and textural neutrals.

A calm taupe-and-ivory check for relaxed upholstery, curtains or layered country-inspired schemes.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Hawes - Natural 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.
