Plaid / Check Fabric

With Scottish tartan origins dating back centuries, the classic structure of a plaid fabric features intersecting lines creating squares and rectangles in various scales and color combinations. Find the best fabrics online with Fabric World's extensive plaid and check fabric selection featuring top designers like Anna French, Brunschwig & Fils, Schumacher, and Thibaut.

Our Plaid / Check Fabric collection is all about cozy, classic style. Leading the way is the Shetland Plaid Lovat Fabric, followed by its sister colorway, the Shetland Plaid Teal Fabric, and the sweet Saybrook Check Blush Fabric. These three best-sellers show how plaids and checks can feel rustic and warm or soft and fresh, depending on the colors you choose.

Plaids are a great way to add pattern without the formality of a large floral. A plaid armchair or ottoman feels instantly inviting, and plaid pillows on a solid sofa are an easy seasonal update. Smaller checks work well on dining chair seats, cushions, and café curtains, where a bigger plaid could feel busy. On upholstery, ask your workroom to match the plaid at the seams so the lines meet cleanly, and plan for a little extra yardage to allow for matching. Order a sample of your favorite to check the scale and colors in your room first.
