AQUIFOLIA Cotton Linen - Ecru

fabric Fabric1-FA-AQF-CL-ECR-XXX-XXX

AQUIFOLIA Cotton Linen in Ecru is built around a warm, softly shaded ground covered with symmetrical botanical sprays. Muted olive leaves, dusty blue-grey foliage and taupe-brown stems give the pattern an aged, tapestry-like depth.

About this fabric

The ecru background keeps this colourway light, while the layered foliage introduces gentle contrast rather than sharp, saturated colour. Large curling leaves and rounded botanical forms repeat across the swatch in a balanced, almost formal arrangement. Olive green, faded blue-grey, taupe and touches of brown create a mellow, heritage-inspired palette with a softly tonal appearance. No performance features or further technical specification are supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use the warm ecru ground to brighten a statement chair, sofa or roman blind, then echo its muted olive and taupe accents in plain cushions, painted timber or softly aged finishes. Its generous botanical scale is especially effective where the full repeat can be seen.

A richly detailed ecru ground with muted olive, taupe, dusty blue and brown foliage, suited to statement upholstery or full-length drapery.

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.
