Eltham Merlot

The dominant merlot tone reads as dark, warm and muted rather than bright, with brown and charcoal checks creating considerable depth across the cloth. Subtle mauve-grey and green-grey notes appear within the larger checks, giving the plaid a softened, heathered character. Narrow ochre lines catch the eye as they travel through the pattern, introducing a restrained contrast against the sombre ground. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification, so the fabric should be assessed against the requirements of the intended upholstery project.

Use the deep merlot ground to add warmth to a charcoal or neutral room, particularly on a tailored armchair, bench or loose cushion. Echo the woven ochre lines with aged brass, honey-toned timber or a small warm-toned accessory.
