Batak Check Indigo/Madder shows a tightly woven, small-scale check with a lively indigo-and-madder contrast. The pattern reads crisp and textural, with the warmer red notes softening the cool blue ground.

About this fabric

This Sanderson fabric has a usable width of 141 cm and a substantial 314gsm handle, making it feel more like a hardwearing upholstery cloth than a delicate drape. The design is built on a compact 2.5 cm vertical and horizontal repeat, so the small check effect stays orderly and steady across larger pieces. In this colourway, the indigo reads as a cool slate blue while the madder brings in a muted terracotta warmth, giving the surface a lively but controlled look. The weave appears dense and finely worked, with the pattern creating a brisk, almost woven-in rhythm rather than a bold graphic statement.

How to use it

Use it on a compact armchair, bench cushion, or piping detail where the small-scale check can add structure without overwhelming the room. It pairs especially well with pale plaster, warm oak, or deep navy accents, which let the indigo and madder tones feel balanced.

Use to bring a crisp, rhythmic accent with a tailored, globally inspired feel.

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.
