Madras Check Avocado

Name: Madras Check Avocado

SKU: SAF0535-03

Madras Check Avocado pairs a crisp ivory ground with soft avocado-green checks for a fresh, evenly balanced gingham effect. The swatch reads clean and airy, with a slightly washed tone that keeps the pattern feeling relaxed rather than sharp.

About this fabric

This fabric from Sanderson’s Sabu Stripes and Ikats collection has a usable width of 139 cm and a 23.5 cm vertical and horizontal repeat, creating a regular medium-scale check. At 245 gsm, it sits in a versatile mid-weight range that works well for both upholstery and drapery. The weave shows a smooth, closely constructed surface with a gentle matte finish, so the avocado green looks muted and natural against the ivory ground. The overall effect is tidy and traditional, but the softened colour keeps it from feeling too formal.

How to use it

Use this avocado-and-ivory check on a country armchair, breakfast-banquette cushions or Roman blinds to bring in a calm, herbal note. It also layers neatly with pale woods, painted joinery and plain linens in warm neutral or sage tones.

Fresh avocado checks bring a crisp, country-house feel to relaxed upholstery or unfussy curtains.

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.
