Quetzal Aqua

Mythica Wallcoverings WallpaperCCW0152-01

Quetzal Aqua places an exuberant aviary across a bright turquoise-aqua ground, with a tall central bird surrounded by trailing foliage, butterflies and fantastical blooms. Emerald, jade, coral, crimson and gold details give the surface a richly illustrated, jewel-like intensity.

About this fabric

The design is filled with finely drawn birds, curling stems, feathery leaves and floral forms, including the prominent green-and-teal bird at the centre of the image. Its aqua background reads cool and saturated, while coral-pink feathers, yellow-gold wings and deep green plumage create sharp points of warmth and depth. This wallpaper has a 52 cm usable width and a 50.9 cm vertical pattern repeat, with no horizontal repeat specified. It is supplied in a standard 10.05 m length and has a listed weight of 130 gsm.

How to use it

Use Quetzal Aqua across a feature wall in a study, dressing room or entertaining space where its cool turquoise ground can energise darker timber and rich jewel-toned accents. Keep nearby fabrics relatively quiet so the detailed birds and botanical tracery remain legible.

Pair the vivid aqua ground with warm wood, brass and restrained neutral upholstery to let the jewel-toned birds take focus.

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.
