About this fabric

Woven in 90% linen and 10% viscose, this fabric has the dry, natural look you would expect from a linen-led cloth, with just enough viscose to soften the handle. The ground reads as a warm cream-beige in the image, while the slender stems and small leaf clusters are picked out in muted aqua with a lightly shaded outline. Its approximate 40cm vertical and 64cm horizontal repeat creates a graceful climbing pattern that suits the 130cm width. With care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM, it is a practical decorative textile for interiors that want pattern without heaviness.

How to use it

The soft aqua and linen tones work especially well in bedrooms, drawing rooms and dining spaces with chalky paint colours, pale oak or weathered rattan. It will feel calm rather than crisp, so it layers neatly with both coastal and classic schemes.

Use for elegant curtains or light upholstery where the soft aqua trail can sit against pale timber and painted walls.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Colyton Aqua without fighting it. 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.
