About this fabric

Catalogued as a fabric, Elmer Stucco shows warm taupe-grey lines crossing an ivory ground to form neat, small-scale checks. The fine, even weave keeps the pattern visually light, while the muted taupe gives it more warmth and depth than a stark grey-and-white design. The repeated vertical and horizontal bands create a steady rhythm across the surface without overwhelming the pale base. This understated colourway brings a relaxed country-check impression with a clean, smart finish.

How to use it

Use Elmer Stucco to introduce a warm, softly neutral check to curtains, blinds, cushions or occasional upholstery. Its ivory ground works naturally with chalky walls, while the taupe lines connect comfortably with oak, stone and mushroom-toned furnishings.

Pair the warm taupe check with ivory, natural wood and softly textured neutral upholstery or curtains.

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