About this fabric

The cool aqua background gives this colourway a fresh, luminous feel, while emerald, teal, yellow, coral and pink accents add saturated depth. Large exotic birds dominate the design, interspersed with curling branches, fern-like foliage, small flowers and trailing tendrils. With a 286gsm weight and 137cm usable width, the fabric has a versatile mid-weight presence suited to both upholstery and drapery. Its pattern repeats every 68cm vertically and 137cm horizontally, allowing the larger bird motifs to be planned prominently across a project.

How to use it

Use Quetzal Aqua on a statement armchair, footstool or full-length curtains where its cool, bright ground can energise a room. Balance the vivid turquoise and green with warm coral accents, natural wood and quieter plain upholstery.

Use the bright aqua ground to bring an energetic tropical accent to upholstery, curtains or coordinating cushions.

Pairs well with

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