Blythe Aqua shows a pale, washed aqua ground scattered with a tiny leaf pattern in a soft, tonal repeat. The effect is light, cool and quietly decorative rather than bold.

About this fabric

This colourway reads as a gently muted aqua with a hint of grey, so the small leaf motif feels delicate against the pale background. Woven in 51% cotton and 49% linen, it has the natural, slightly dry character you would expect from a cotton-linen mix. The repeat is approximately V 13cm / H 14cm, giving the design a neat, regular rhythm across the cloth. At approximately 141cm wide, it is a practical width for furnishings, and the lightness of the shade keeps the pattern airy and unobtrusive.

How to use it

Use Blythe Aqua to soften a room with painted timber, pale oak, or crisp white finishes. It works especially well where you want a cool, fresh note without the brightness of a clear turquoise.

A fresh, pale aqua that brings a clean, airy feel to classic interiors.

Pairs well with

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