Ario Silk

Ario FabricHAF0599-15

Ario Silk presents a calm, pale aqua-blue ground with a restrained woven texture. The even surface is gently enlivened by fine vertical and horizontal threads that catch the light without forming a visible motif.

About this fabric

This colourway reads as a cool, softened blue with a slight greyed quality, giving the swatch a quieter feel than a saturated turquoise. Its plain weave shows delicate linear texture across the surface, while the close 48.5 threads/cm construction keeps the appearance finely detailed. At 198 gsm and 153 cm usable width, it is a versatile mid-weight for both upholstery and drapery applications. With a 0 cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeat, it can be planned as a continuous plain without matching a design.

How to use it

Use the soft aqua-blue tone to brighten a relaxed sitting room, pairing it with chalky whites, pale oak and warm natural fibres. Its understated texture also suits full-length curtains or a tailored occasional chair where the colour can remain the main feature.

Use this softly muted aqua blue to bring a cool, refined lift to upholstery, curtains or blinds.

Ario Silk 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.
