Pelham Aqua shows a delicate all-over trailing leaf motif in a soft aqua-teal palette on a warm, pale ground. The small-scale repeat gives the design a neat, orderly feel without losing its hand-drawn charm.

About this fabric

Woven in 68% cotton and 32% linen, this fabric has the natural, lightly textured look associated with those fibres and a width of approximately 140cm. The repeat is approximately 12cm vertically and 17cm horizontally, creating a compact pattern that reads clearly across a room without feeling busy. In this colourway the motif sits in a muted blue-green, while the background stays calm and sandy, so the overall effect is fresh rather than bright. It feels especially suited to schemes that need a little colour but still want a refined, easygoing surface.

How to use it

Use Pelham Aqua on a chair, window seat or pair of curtains where the soft teal trail can add detail without dominating. It works particularly well with bleached timber, chalky white paint and quiet green accents.

A fresh aqua ground with a fine leaf trail that feels crisp and classic.

Pairs well with

Pelham Aqua is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
