About this fabric

This Titley & Marr fabric from the Chess and Chequers collection presents a compact diamond design that reads clearly across the surface. The indigo ground is softened by paler, chalkier highlights, so the pattern has a cool, slightly weathered depth rather than a sharp contrast. Its close weave and structured face suggest a fabric well suited to upholstery, and no performance features are noted in the supplied specification. The overall effect is neat and tailored, with the repeated motif creating a steady rhythm that feels precise rather than busy.

How to use it

Use this blue colourway on a compact armchair, ottoman or bench where the small diamond pattern can be appreciated up close. It also works well with white-painted joinery, oak tones and other cool neutrals for a fresh, disciplined scheme.

Pairs neatly with pale wood and crisp white for a clean, tailored look.

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