Braddock Aqua

Braddock Aqua reads as a cool, pale blue-green with a soft silvery cast. Across the surface, a fine herringbone weave creates delicate directional movement while keeping the overall impression calm and understated.

About this fabric

The close woven face combines pale aqua and light grey threads, producing a muted blue-green tone that changes subtly as the light catches the chevron texture. Its small herringbone pattern has a 9 cm horizontal repeat, adding structure without becoming visually busy. Braddock Aqua is composed of 69% viscose, 13% cotton, 10% linen and 8% polyester, with a 137 cm width. It is suitable for curtains, loose upholstery, fixed upholstery and bedspreads, and has a 25,000 Martindale rub test.

How to use it

Use Braddock Aqua to bring a cool, airy note to an upholstered chair, headboard or sofa, or let it soften a room as full-length curtains. Its silvery aqua colouring works particularly well with chalky whites, pale timber and softly grey neutrals.

Its cool, silvery aqua tone and fine herringbone texture suit tailored upholstery, relaxed curtains and coordinated bedspreads.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Braddock 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.
