Mariella Aqua

Marius FabricF4860-03

Mariella Aqua sets a light, airy ground for a trailing floral design in painterly pinks, greens and warm neutrals. The overall effect is fresh and lifted, with the aqua reading as a cool, misty backdrop rather than a bright blue.

About this fabric

This fabric is from the Marius collection by Colefax and Fowler and is composed of 100% linen, with a repeat of V 86cm / H 71cm approx and a width of 141cm approx. The linen ground gives the swatch a natural, gently textured look, while the large-scale floral pattern sits clearly across the surface without feeling heavy. In this colourway, the aqua background is soft and pale, allowing the coral, blush and sage motifs to stand out with a calm, washed quality. The design feels decorative but breathable, making the fabric especially suited to relaxed rooms that still want a tailored finish.

How to use it

Use Mariella Aqua on curtains, loose covers or accent upholstery where the pale blue ground can brighten the room. It works well with chalky whites, weathered wood and muted greens for a fresh country-house feel.

Pair with painted timber and cream upholstery for a fresh, elegant scheme.

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