Water Meadow Cobalt 2

SS22 Images - Enchanted Garden, Geometrica, Water Meadow & Portland Fabric

Water Meadow Cobalt 2 is a lively painterly print with sweeping brushstrokes in cobalt, aqua and soft grey across a pale ground. The design feels fresh and energetic, with the darker blue marks giving the fabric definition and movement.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% cotton, this Water Meadow colourway has a crisp, natural handle that suits both soft furnishings and lighter upholstery use. The 141cm usable width and 46cm by 46cm pattern repeat make the large, flowing motif easy to plan across curtains, cushions or statement seats. With a Martindale rub count of 20,000 and a General Domestic upholstery grade, it has the practicality for everyday schemes while remaining decorative. The tonal mix of vivid cobalt, icy aqua and misty grey reads cool and water-like against the pale ground, with the brushwork creating a layered, slightly translucent effect. It is also treatable for FR drapery and upholstery and includes Better Cotton content.

How to use it

Use it to bring colour to a neutral room, especially where the cool cobalt tones can sit against white paint, oak or brushed metal. It works well for cushions and curtains in a coastal, contemporary or gallery-style scheme.

Pair with crisp linens and pale woods to let the vivid brushwork stand out.

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.
