About this fabric

Woven in 36% Linen, 30% Viscose, 22% Cotton and 12% Polyester, Arlette Aqua has the balanced handle of a versatile furnishing fabric, with a width of approximately 144cm. The tiny repeat, around V 2cm / H 1cm, creates a subtle diamond-like structure that reads clearly without dominating the surface. In this colourway, the ground feels muted and watery, with a pale aqua tone softened by grey, so the pattern stays understated and refined. The mix of linen and viscose gives the cloth a gently textured, slightly matte finish that suits rooms needing colour without heaviness.

How to use it

Use Arlette Aqua on an occasional chair, a headboard or relaxed curtains where its cool aqua tone can bring freshness without sharp contrast. It pairs especially well with chalky whites, pale oak and deeper blue-green accents.

A cool aqua ground with a fine, quietly tailored repeat that suits both upholstery and drapery.

Pairs well with

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