Persis Aqua shows Theodore’s damask motif on a light aqua ground, detailed with ivory outlines, warm ochre notes and muted blue accents. The overall effect is airy but still decorative, with a refined faded quality that suits a tailored scheme.

About this fabric

This fabric is woven in a 40% viscose, 32% cotton, 28% linen blend, giving the design a soft matte handle and a gently natural surface. The repeat is large at approximately V 76cm / H 63cm, which helps the damask read clearly across the cloth without feeling busy. At approximately 127cm wide, it is a practical width for both upholstery and drapery applications. In this colourway, the aqua background is pale and cool, while the pattern lifts it with small flashes of mustard, chalky ivory and dusty navy that keep the look balanced and calm. The Q 8 + T 3 care code and √BM fire code complete a specification suited to considered domestic interiors.

How to use it

Use Persis Aqua where you want pattern but not heaviness: it would look especially good on a relaxed armchair, cushions, or lined curtains against painted woodwork. The soft aqua tone works neatly with bleached timber, chalk white, dove grey and aged brass.

The pale aqua ground feels fresh and airy, with warm ochre and soft blue accents that keep the pattern elegant rather than sugary.

Pairs well with

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