Aquarius Batik Wavy

Aquarius Batik Wavy brings a fresh, airy feel with its soft blue scalloped arches and delicate trailing embroidery. The warm orange-yellow floral details lift the white ground and give the design a lively, hand-worked look.

About this fabric

Woven in 52% cotton and 48% polyester with viscose embroidery, this 134cm-wide fabric is specified for accessories and drapery and is treatable for FR drapery. The visible ground reads as a clean off-white, while the batik-style arches are layered in mid to soft cornflower blue for a crisp but gentle contrast. Small embroidered sprigs in ochre, saffron and coral-orange add warmth and stop the palette feeling too cool. The 22cm horizontal and 15cm vertical repeats create a confident, large-scale rhythm that suits the fabric’s decorative character. It is not suitable for upholstery, so it is best used where the pattern can drape and show movement.

How to use it

This colourway works beautifully in rooms that need a lifted, coastal-leaning palette without going pale or washed out. Pair it with natural timber, chalky whites and muted blue accessories to echo the fabric’s cool base and warm embroidered highlights.

Use for curtains or decorative accessories where the blue scalloped repeat and warm embroidered accents can take centre stage.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Aquarius Batik 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.
