Milner Aqua

Essential Colour III - Colour FabricBF11188.725

Milner Aqua reads as a very pale, cool aqua with a softened grey-beige cast. Its close, fine weave gives the swatch a quiet, lightly textured surface rather than a pronounced pattern.

About this fabric

This plain woven fabric combines 47% viscose, 27% cotton, 18% linen and 8% polyester, creating the subtly varied surface visible in the swatch. The pale aqua tone is restrained and slightly chalky, with a cool quality that avoids looking brightly saturated. At 137 cm wide, it is specified for curtains, loose upholstery, fixed upholstery and bedspreads. A 28,000 Martindale rub test supports its use on upholstered seating, while care is limited to professional dry cleaning.

How to use it

Use Milner Aqua to lighten a window seat, occasional chair or upholstered headboard, especially alongside warm oak, pale neutrals and natural linen. Its cool greyed aqua tone also works well as a soft curtain colour in rooms with plenty of daylight.

A softly muted aqua with a fine woven texture, suited to airy upholstery, curtains and bedspreads.

Pairs well with

Milner 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.
