About this fabric

The small-scale check is formed from irregular, flecked blue-and-cream threads, creating a softly broken pattern rather than a perfectly flat geometric repeat. Oxford blue reads as deep and inky in the darker areas, while the cream yarns lift the overall effect and make the motif clearly legible. The tightly structured weave appears well suited to tailored upholstery applications. No performance features or further specification data are noted for this colourway.

How to use it

Use this cool, graphic blue-and-cream colourway on a neat armchair, dining seat or box cushion, pairing it with warm ivory, dark timber and simple navy accents. Its small repeat also works well where you want pattern without overwhelming a compact piece.

Use this crisp Oxford blue and cream check to bring tailored contrast to upholstery, cushions or a statement chair.

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.
