Madras Check Teal

Sabu Stripes and Ikats FabricSAF0535-01

Madras Check Teal pairs a calm aqua-teal with a soft ivory ground, creating a fresh check that feels bright without looking stark. The woven surface gives the colourway a slightly softened, textile-led finish.

About this fabric

This Sanderson fabric from the Sabu Stripes and Ikats collection has a usable width of 139 cm and a 23.5 cm vertical and horizontal repeat, which gives the check a regular, balanced rhythm. At 245 gsm, it sits in a versatile mid-weight that is suitable for both upholstery and drapery use. The teal squares read as a muted sea-glass shade, while the pale ground keeps the overall effect airy and easy to live with. Fine threads are visible in the weave, adding a slight linen-like texture and preventing the colourway from feeling flat.

How to use it

Use it on a pair of dining chairs, a blind, or relaxed cushions where the cool teal and ivory check can bring order and freshness. It works especially well with bleached woods, chalky paint finishes, and simple coastal or country schemes.

A fresh teal check that suits casual upholstery and light, tailored drapery.

Pairs well with

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