Woodberry Aqua

Pelham FabricF4847-05

Woodberry Aqua shows a tiny, tightly repeated geometric pattern in softened aqua and pale neutral tones. The overall effect is calm and lightly vintage, with enough movement in the motif to keep the surface lively.

About this fabric

This Pelham fabric combines 50% viscose, 23% polyester, 20% linen and 7% cotton, giving the swatch a smooth yet lightly textured handle that suits a refined decorative use. The repeat is small, at approximately V 6cm / H 4cm, and the pattern reads as a neat all-over lattice of tiny aqua motifs on an ivory-grounded background. In this colourway the blue leans cool and dusty rather than bright, so the design feels fresh without becoming sharp. With an approximate width of 139cm and no performance finish noted, it sits well in tailored soft furnishings and lighter upholstered pieces as well as drapery.

How to use it

Use Woodberry Aqua where you want a restrained hit of colour that still feels airy, such as on a bedroom headboard, a pair of blinds or accent cushions. The pale aqua tone works especially well with chalky whites, washed oak and muted green accents.

Its cool aqua note and tiny repeat make it easy to pair with pale timber, linen and brushed metals.

Pairs well with

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