Annaisa Checkers Ticking Blue

Weave Fabric

Annaisa Checkers Ticking Blue brings a cool, rhythmic check to the surface, with deep blue blocks set against blue-grey and warm cream squares. Fine zigzag texture across the woven checks adds lively tactile variation.

About this fabric

The design is formed from alternating checkered squares, combining dense deep-blue blocks with quieter blue-grey and warm cream sections. The dark blue reads cool and slightly inky, while the cream squares soften the contrast and give the overall colourway a balanced, approachable feel. Close up, the squares show a crisp chevron-like weave rather than a completely flat surface, creating subtle movement across the regular grid. No performance features have been noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this cool blue colourway on a relaxed armchair, bench or pair of curtains, balancing its graphic check with warm cream upholstery, pale timber and soft natural textures.

Pair the cool blue checks with warm neutrals and natural wood for a relaxed, tactile scheme.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Annaisa Checkers Ticking Blue 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.
