Portland Waterbury Aqua Wavy has a softly washed aqua stripe that feels cool, light and gently coastal. The wavy vertical bands give the fabric a relaxed rhythm, with pale ground tones that keep the overall look airy.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% cotton, this Portland fabric has a usable width of 137cm and a 35cm horizontal pattern repeat, making the stripe read clearly across larger pieces. The colourway combines misty aqua and pale mint with soft white lanes, creating a fresh, watercolour effect rather than a sharp contrast. Its Heavy Domestic upholstery grade and 30,000 Martindale rub test mean it is suitable for hardworking furniture as well as curtains and accessories. Treatable for FR drapery and upholstery, it offers a practical finish for schemes that need both visual calm and everyday performance.

How to use it

Use it on an occasional chair, bench cushion or full-length curtains where the soft aqua can echo glazed ceramics, painted joinery or sea-toned accessories. The cool, low-contrast stripes work especially well in light-filled rooms that need pattern without visual weight.

Pair with pale oak and crisp whites to keep the aqua stripes feeling fresh and airy.

Pairs well with

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