Melior Aqua
Oriana FabricF4647-04
Melior Aqua presents the Oriana design in a cool, powdery palette of aqua, grey and creamy ivory, softened by blush accents. The pattern reads as a layered geometric with a woven, slightly blurred finish that keeps it elegant rather than stark.

About this fabric
This colourway combines 82% viscose and 18% linen, giving the fabric a smooth, softly lustrous handle with a lightly textured linen note visible in the weave. At approximately 140cm wide, it offers a practical width for curtains or upholstery projects where the pattern’s large repeat of V 57cm / H 35cm approx can be planned carefully. The dominant aqua sits in a muted, misty register, so the design feels fresh but not bright, while the blush and warm neutral accents add a gentle warmth across the surface. Its layered diamond and paisley-like forms are softened by the cloth’s finish, creating a smart decorative look with a calm, lived-in character.
How to use it
Use Melior Aqua on curtains, an occasional chair or a headboard to bring a cool, airy note into a room. It pairs especially well with pale oak, chalky whites and brushed metal finishes, where the aqua and blush tones can stay soft and balanced.
Works beautifully where you want a cool, lifted palette with a gentle decorative edge.

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.
