Clarence Aqua

Essential Colour III - Colour FabricBF11185.725

Clarence Aqua presents as a warm taupe-beige rather than a strong blue, with a finely textured surface that gives the plain colour quiet visual depth. Its closely woven appearance reads smart and understated in the swatch.

About this fabric

The fabric has a very fine, even micro-weave, with tiny diagonal lines creating a softly tactile surface rather than a visible motif. Its warm beige-taupe tone is muted and versatile, catching the light gently across the close texture. Woven from 44% cotton, 38% viscose, 10% linen and 8% polyester, it is 140 cm (55") wide. With a 27,000 Martindale rub test and usage listed for curtains, loose upholstery, fixed upholstery and bedspreads, it offers broad scope across a scheme.

How to use it

Use Clarence Aqua to bring a calm, warm taupe note to tailored seating or relaxed loose covers, then repeat the same understated tone in curtains or a bedspread. Its fine texture works especially well where a plain fabric needs more depth without a bold pattern.

The warm taupe-beige tone and fine woven texture suit tailored upholstery, curtains and coordinated bedspreads.

Pairs well with

Clarence 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.
