About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, this fabric has the dry, natural handle and subtle texture you expect from a classic Colefax and Fowler design. The repeat is approximately V 67cm / H 69cm, giving the large flowering stems room to read clearly across a room. In this colourway the background is a cool, misty aqua that feels airy rather than bright, while the cream flowers and green foliage add a gentle, lifted contrast. It is supplied at approximately 138cm wide and carries care code Q 8 + T 3 with √BM fire code.

How to use it

Use Giselle Aqua for lined curtains or a statement upholstered chair where the soft blue ground can brighten a room without feeling stark. It works especially well with ivory paint, weathered oak and warm brass accents.

Pair with pale woods and quiet neutrals to let the airy aqua ground and cream blooms stay fresh.

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.
