Tilly Aqua

About this fabric

Made from 100% cotton and measuring 136 cm wide, Tilly Aqua has a fine, closely woven texture that appears almost linen-like at swatch scale. The colour is a muted aqua with a subtle grey-green cast, keeping it fresh but restrained rather than bright or saturated. Its small 2 cm vertical and 8.5 cm horizontal pattern repeats create a discreet surface rhythm, while the close weave remains visually calm. The specification allows for curtains, loose upholstery, fixed upholstery and bedspreads; professional dry cleaning is required, with no washing, bleaching or ironing.

How to use it

Use this pale aqua as a cool, light-reflective upholstery or curtain fabric alongside warm ivory, pale oak and natural woven finishes. Its subdued blue-green tone also works well as a fresh bedspread colour in rooms that need softness without strong pattern.

A cool, understated aqua with a fine woven surface for calm upholstery, curtains and bedspreads.

Pairs well with

Tilly 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.
