About this fabric

The finely scaled check alternates muted blue-grey squares with soft white, giving the cloth a distinctly cool, fresh appearance rather than a warm country check. The narrow, even repeat reads neatly across the swatch, while the visible weave softens the contrast between the two tones. This restrained colour balance makes the pattern feel calm and versatile, with enough definition to add quiet structure without becoming dominant.

How to use it

Use Elmer Harbour Grey to lighten a relaxed armchair, bench or cushion scheme, especially alongside chalky whites, pale timber and weathered blue-grey accents. As curtains, its cool checked surface would give a room a clean, informal finish.

Use this cool grey-and-white check to bring a fresh, quietly graphic note to relaxed upholstery, cushions or curtains.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Elmer Harbour Grey 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.
