- The checked fabrics in Romo’s Kemble collection come in two scales, the smaller ‘Elmer’ and larger ‘Kemble’, which mix and match beautifully. This dainty pink colour is rose quartz
- This ‘George Check’ cotton from George Spencer Designs pays homage to one of the company’s archive designs, and comes in six colourways, including this one, forest
- As the name suggests, this ‘Kilt’ fabric from Dedar was inspired by a traditional Scottish tartan
- French fabric house Casal, available at Houlès, is known for its textile archive. With its offset grid pattern, ‘Passione’ strikes a bolder note than a traditional gingham
- The smart, tailored look of this ‘Perugia’ fabric is typically Italian: find it at ArmaniCasa Exclusive Textiles at Rubelli
- ‘Poleng’ by Raoul Textiles at Turnell & Gigon won The World of Interiors Showstopper award at Focus/20; the fabric house creates all its own dyes, so its colours are unique
- Pictured on David Seyfried Ltd’s ‘Editor’s’ sofa, Marvic Textiles’ ‘Toile Carreaux’ upholstery-weight cotton is a small-scale check available in 22 colours
- Suitable for curtains and upholstery, this ‘Belgrave Check’ from Colefax and Fowler is simple, smart and very versatile
