About this fabric

The small check alternates charcoal-grey and pale ivory squares, creating a softly contrasting pattern that reads cooler and more graphic in the image than a warm neutral. Its compact scale gives the colourway a crisp, ordered character without becoming visually dominant. The supplied catalogue identifies it as Fabric, with no performance features noted. No composition, width or rub-test figures are supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use the cool grey-and-ivory ground to sharpen a neutral room, pairing it with chalky whites, pale timber and deeper charcoal accents on an occasional chair, bench or simple blind.

The restrained grey-and-ivory check brings a crisp, tailored note to upholstery, cushions or relaxed window treatments.

Pairs well with

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