Stripes: direction creates space

Vertical stripes on a floor-length curtain visually stretch a room upwards. On a sofa they emphasise the shape and look elegant and orderly. Wide block stripes make a clear statement, while fine pinstripes look almost plain from a distance and reveal texture up close. Woven stripes are particularly durable because the pattern is part of the weave rather than printed on.

Checks: from gingham to tartan

Gingham is a classic of French country houses and looks fresh and uncomplicated. Larger checks and tartans bring warmth and go well with wood, leather and dark colours. Checked fabrics are ideal for cushions, chair covers and headboards.

The perfect partner for patterns

Stripes and checks bridge the gap between patterns. A stripe that picks up a colour from a floral curtain links it to the sofa. Many collections are designed precisely for this: stripes, florals and plains in coordinated colours.

Making up

With stripes and checks, the pattern must line up exactly at seams and edges, so allow a little extra fabric depending on the repeat. Our service centre and sewing service will help you. Matching partners can be found under Floral & Botanical and Plains & Textures, by use under Curtain & decorative fabrics and Upholstery fabrics.
