Marnie Aqua

Name: Marnie Aqua
Brand: Colefax and Fowler
SKU: F4117-01

Marnie Aqua softens the Florenza Sheers pattern into a cool, washed aqua with a light, airy hand. The vertical stripes and linked geometric motif read clearly against the translucent ground, giving the fabric a crisp but relaxed presence.

About this fabric

Marnie Aqua is woven in 80% Linen and 20% Viscose, with an approximate width of 136cm and a repeat of V 20cm / H 34cm approx. The sheer ground looks pale and slightly weathered, while the repeating outline motif adds a muted tan-gold accent that catches the light without feeling heavy. Its open, curtain-weight construction makes the design feel breathable and fluid, and the cool aqua cast is tempered by the natural slub of the linen. The overall effect is refined and coastal rather than vivid, with the pattern standing out just enough to be seen through daylight.

How to use it

Use Marnie Aqua at a tall window where its translucent body and vertical motif can elongate the room. It works especially well with bleached woods, soft whites, and sandy neutrals to keep the palette fresh and understated.

Layer with chalky linens and pale oak for a fresh, airy window treatment.

Pairs well with

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