About this fabric

The swatch shows a light, cool aqua ground softened by cream, with narrow vertical tonal bands and a minute, even woven texture. Its 45% viscose, 28% cotton, 21% linen and 6% polyester construction is specified for curtains, loose upholstery, fixed upholstery and bedspreads, across a 139 cm width. A 1.5 cm vertical repeat and 3 cm horizontal repeat keep the small-scale surface discreet rather than graphic. The 30,000 Martindale result supports its stated upholstery uses; professional dry cleaning is required, with no washing, bleaching or ironing.

How to use it

Pair this pale aqua colourway with warm ivory, chalky stone and light timber to preserve its airy, softened character. Its restrained vertical texture can add subtle definition to a relaxed curtain, upholstered seat or bedspread.

Use the cool aqua-and-cream colouring to bring gentle contrast to upholstery, curtains or bedspreads.

Pairs well with

Albermarle Aqua is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
