Genista Aqua brings a quietly faded aqua and sage palette to Medora’s striped weave, softened by creamy ground tones. The result feels fresh but settled, with a gentle rhythmic pattern that reads clearly in the cloth.

About this fabric

This woven fabric has a 138cm approximate width and a repeat of V 41cm / H 69cm approx, giving the stripe-and-small motif layout a steady, tailored rhythm. The colourway combines pale aqua, muted sage, cream and soft grey-green, so the design looks airy rather than vivid. Its mixed composition of 56% Cotton, 10% Linen, 10% Viscose, 8% Acrylic, 8% Wool, 6% Polyester and 2% Polyamide suggests a practical decorative cloth with a pleasantly tactile finish. The visible surface has a lightly textured, mid-weight hand that suits either upholstery or drapery depending on the project. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for reference.

How to use it

Pair this cool, restrained aqua with bleached woods, chalky paint colours and woven textures for a calm coastal or country look. It also works well as a stripe for cushions, a window treatment or a small accent chair where the muted colour can add pattern without heaviness.

Use it for relaxed upholstery or Roman blinds, where the soft aqua and sage stripes can read fresh without feeling bright.

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