About this fabric

This colourway reads as a very pale aqua with greyed, mineral undertones, giving the surface a calm and slightly chalky look. The fine woven texture is visible across the cloth, adding subtle movement without a defined pattern, and the overall effect stays understated even in brighter light. Woven in a 61% viscose, 19% cotton, 11% linen and 9% polyester blend, it has the soft handle and natural interest expected of a decorative furnishing fabric. The fabric is approximately 139cm wide and has no repeat, which makes the plain, textural finish especially versatile for clean-lined interiors.

How to use it

Use this soft aqua to cool a room with limestone, oak or painted white joinery, where its pale tone will lift the scheme without feeling cold. It works well on relaxed upholstery or flowing curtains when you want a fresh, coastal note rather than a saturated blue.

A fresh pale aqua that suits both tailored upholstery and light, airy drapery.

Pairs well with

Cotley Aqua is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

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.
