About this fabric

Woven in 52% cotton and 48% polyester with viscose embroidery, this 134cm-wide fabric is designed for accessories and drapery rather than upholstery. The repeated scalloped medallions give the surface a rhythmic, handworked feel, while the pale ground keeps the green outline and berry-toned embroidery clear and crisp. The malachite colourway has a fresh, slightly muted depth that feels brighter than olive but less saturated than jewel green, so the flowers and stems stand out without looking heavy. It is treatable for FR drapery, making it a practical choice for decorative curtains or soft furnishing accents where the embroidered detail can be appreciated.

How to use it

Pair this malachite colourway with natural linen, warm timber and brass so the green reads crisp and botanical. It works especially well for room-darkening curtains, cushions, or a lined accessory piece where the embroidery can be seen from close range.

Use for curtains or relaxed accessories to let the embroidered motif and fresh malachite ground stand out.

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