Barton Stripe Aqua

Tilbury FabricF4913-02

Barton Stripe Aqua is a pale, airy stripe with a cool aqua cast and a refined small-scale trailing detail running through each band. The overall effect is clean and calm, with enough pattern to read as tailored rather than plain.

About this fabric

This fabric shows a soft aqua-and-ivory palette, with the stripe appearing light, misty and slightly muted rather than bright or saturated. The narrow decorative trail within each vertical band gives the design a gently traditional feel, while the generous spacing keeps the look fresh. It is woven in 74% linen and 26% polyester, with an approximate width of 138cm and a vertical repeat of 4cm / horizontal repeat of 22cm. The linen content brings a natural, lightly textured handle, while the polyester helps support everyday use and a cleaner drape. Q 8 + T 3 care and fire code Z are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use this colourway where you want a cool, polished stripe that won’t overpower a room: it works especially well with white-painted joinery, pale timber and crisp linen upholstery. The delicate aqua tone is ideal for relaxed coastal or country schemes that still need a smart finish.

Pair with pale oak, chalk white, or shell pink for a fresh tailored scheme.

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.
