About this fabric

This Gillan Stripe Aqua colourway from the Lamorna Chk & Stp collection is a 70% linen, 30% cotton fabric with a width of approximately 146cm and a vertical repeat of about 2cm. The stripe is made up of slim aqua bands, narrow olive accents and fine pale lines, all sitting on a calm linen-ground that reads slightly greyed rather than bright. The weave has a lightly textured, natural look that suits the relaxed clarity of the design. With its balanced stripe spacing and medium-light handle, it feels versatile enough for upholstery or curtains, depending on the room and application. The Q 8 + T 3 care code and √BM fire code are part of the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use it where you want a cool, understated stripe that still brings colour, such as a loose cover, tub chair or tailored blind. The aqua note keeps the scheme airy, while the olive pinstripes stop it feeling too crisp.

Fresh aqua and olive pinstripes give this linen-cotton stripe an easy, coastal feel.

Pairs well with

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