Milton Eggshell/Cream shows a softly muted plaid in eggshell, cream and faint grey-beige lines. The overall effect is airy and understated, with the check reading gentle rather than high-contrast.

About this fabric

From Sanderson's Byron Wools collection, this fabric is 140 cm wide and has a standard length of 50 m, with a 17.5 cm vertical repeat and 18.5 cm horizontal repeat. At 275 gsm, it has enough body to sit neatly for upholstery while still remaining suitable for drapery projects, and the 36.8 threads per cm gives the surface a refined, closely worked finish. The colourway is a pale, cool-leaning eggshell and cream with softened blue-grey plaid bands and fine taupe pinstripes, so the pattern feels fresh and lightly washed rather than bold. In the image, the weave has a gently brushed, woollen look that adds warmth and a relaxed country feel without becoming heavy.

How to use it

Use it on a small sofa, banquette or occasional chair where the quiet plaid can add structure without dominating the room. Its pale eggshell ground pairs well with driftwood, chalk white and soft sage or misty blue accents.

A gentle checked wool look that feels calm and easy rather than crisp.

Milton Eggshell/Cream 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.
