Ashburn Aqua shows a classic damask pattern in a pale aqua blue against a warm ivory ground. The motif reads crisp and fresh, with a light, airy finish that keeps the design from feeling heavy.

About this fabric

Woven in a 91% linen, 5% viscose, 2% cotton, 1% polyester and 1% polyamide blend, this fabric has a natural-looking body with a refined surface. The repeat is approximately V 30cm and H 21cm, giving the teardrop damask motif a measured, orderly rhythm across the cloth. At 134cm wide, it offers practical coverage for both furnishings and window projects. Ashburn Aqua’s cool, diluted blue sits softly on the ivory ground, so the pattern feels quietly decorative rather than bold.

How to use it

This colourway works beautifully with white-painted wood, pale oak and brushed chrome, where the cool aqua can stay clean and bright. It is especially effective in rooms that need pattern without visual weight, such as tailored curtains, occasional chairs or a calm upholstered headboard.

Use for elegant upholstery or curtains where a cool, airy damask is wanted.

Pairs well with

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