About this fabric

The large-scale check combines broad cream and sage grounds with mustard panels, deep merlot bands and narrow blue-grey stripes. Its visible woven surface has a softly napped, flecked appearance that gently mutes the contrast between the colours rather than making the plaid feel sharp or graphic. The substantial-looking construction makes it well suited to upholstery applications. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this colourway on a traditional armchair, bench seat or statement sofa where the merlot and mustard can warm a room with cream walls, while the sage and blue-grey lines connect naturally with muted painted cabinetry or cool neutrals.

A substantial-looking checked weave with warm merlot and mustard balanced by sage, cream and blue-grey lines.

Pairs well with

Melbourne - Merlot / Sage 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.
