About this fabric

The pattern is built from broad petrol-blue and pewter-grey checks, crossed by narrow cream and blue pinstripes that sharpen the larger blocks. Its muted blue-grey palette reads calm and cool rather than bright, while the fine woven texture softens the contrast between the bands. The fabric has a substantial-looking textile presence in the image, making it well suited to upholstery rather than light, fluid drapery. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use the petrol-blue depth on a reading chair, bench or compact sofa, pairing it with pale timber, chalky walls and warm neutral upholstery to keep the room balanced. The pewter ground also works neatly with charcoal, slate and brushed metal accents.

A cool, structured plaid with enough visual depth to anchor an upholstered chair, headboard or sofa.

Melbourne - Petrol/Pewter 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.
