About this fabric

This colourway shows a delicate pale aqua tone with a cool, misted quality and only the slightest hint of green. As a velvet, it has a low, soft sheen that lifts the shade subtly across the surface, giving it a calm depth rather than a glossy finish. The fabric is 100% cotton and measures approximately 140cm wide, with a vertical and horizontal repeat of 0cm, so the emphasis stays on the plain pile and its light-catching texture. The colour reads fresh and understated, making it especially suited to a scheme that needs softness without weight.

How to use it

Use this pale aqua velvet on an upholstered armchair, headboard or ottoman to bring a cool, airy note into the room. It pairs particularly well with chalk white, pale oak and brushed brass for a crisp but gentle finish.

A cool, airy velvet that feels calm and refined on clean-lined upholstery.

Pairs well with

Dante Pale 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.
