About this fabric

This colourway sits in a delicate pale aqua range, softened by a grey-green undertone rather than a bright seaside blue. As a velvet, it has a fine, even surface that catches the light subtly, so the shade appears slightly deeper at different angles. The cloth is composed of 56% viscose and 44% cotton, with an approximate width of 140cm and no visible repeat, making the plain field especially clean and versatile. The finish feels refined rather than glossy, which helps this tone look calm and airy on larger upholstered pieces.

How to use it

Use it to lighten compact seating, a headboard, or an ottoman where the pale aqua can bring a cool, restful note. It pairs especially well with chalky whites, bleached oak, and soft putty tones.

A fresh, softly glowing aqua that works beautifully on clean-lined seating or casual cushions.

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.
