Emmeline Aqua

Cristabel FabricF4775-02

Emmeline Aqua brings a light, airy blue ground to Cristabel’s busy floral trail, giving the design a fresh, washed look. The painterly roses, sprigs and foliage sit clearly against the pale aqua linen.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, this fabric has the natural texture and slightly slubby surface you expect from a relaxed decorative cloth. The pattern is a large-scale floral with an approximate vertical repeat of 73cm and horizontal repeat of 140cm, so the motifs read generously across the width. In Emmeline Aqua, the ground is a cool, softened aqua that keeps the pink, green and small turquoise accents feeling bright rather than heavy. At approximately 140cm wide, it is a practical width for curtains and feature pieces, and the square-mark care and √CM fire code are useful specification details for specification-led projects.

How to use it

Use it where you want colour without darkness: a loose curtain, a statement armchair, or cushions against chalky paintwork. The cool aqua background works especially well with pale oak, whitewashed walls and coral-toned accents.

Pair with pale timber and gentle pink accents to keep the meadow palette fresh.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Emmeline 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.
