Evelyn Aqua

Essential Colour III - Colour FabricBF11212.1

Evelyn Aqua has a quiet, cool-toned appearance, combining a pale aqua cast with a warm beige ground. Its close, fine weave gives the surface a subtly grained look rather than a pronounced printed pattern.

About this fabric

The swatch shows a delicate micro-woven texture in which tiny aqua and neutral threads create a soft, lightly mottled surface. Its restrained 2 cm vertical and 1.5 cm horizontal repeats keep the pattern visually discreet at furnishing scale. Woven from 38% viscose, 27% linen, 14% cotton, 13% polyester, 6% wool and 2% nylon, the 139 cm-wide fabric is suitable for curtains, loose upholstery, fixed upholstery and bedspreads. A 29,000 Martindale rub test supports its use on upholstered pieces, while care is limited to professional dry cleaning.

How to use it

Use Evelyn Aqua to cool a beige or ivory scheme without introducing a strong blue accent; it would suit a softly tailored armchair, relaxed headboard or full-length curtains. Pair its pale aqua threads with chalky whites, light oak and warm natural textures to bring out the balance between cool colour and beige depth.

A cool, softly textured aqua-beige weave that brings understated colour to upholstery, curtains and bedspreads.

Pairs well with

Evelyn 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.
