Durlston Aqua

Hailsham FabricF4869-02

Durlston Aqua shows a graceful trailing botanical design, with sinuous branches, leafy flourishes and small birds scattered over a pale ground. The aqua foliage and blush detailing give the print a fresh, slightly faded lightness.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, this fabric has the dry, natural handle you expect from a decorative linen and a lively printed surface that lets the pattern sit softly on the cloth. The design is scaled generously, with a vertical repeat of approx. 87cm and a horizontal repeat of approx. 67cm, so the trailing branches and birds read as a flowing all-over scene rather than a tight repeat. In Durlston Aqua, the palette feels cool and airy: washed aqua leaves, muted blush flowers and a gentle golden stem detail on an off-white ground. With a width of approx. 134cm and no performance finish noted, it is best appreciated as a refined decorative fabric rather than a hard-working contract textile.

How to use it

This colourway works beautifully as statement curtains where the pale ground can brighten a room and the aqua tones echo painted woodwork or porcelain. Pair it with chalky whites, weathered oak and soft rose accents for a calm, polished scheme.

Use in elegant curtains or light decorative upholstery where the soft aqua palette can breathe.

Pairs well with

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