About this fabric

The swatch reads as a cool aqua blue softened with grey, creating a muted, airy tone rather than a bright or saturated turquoise. Fine vertical and horizontal threads are visible across the surface, adding subtle variation and a lightly tactile finish. The quiet, even texture keeps the colourway relaxed and unobtrusive, making it particularly well suited to drapery. No composition, width, usage or rub-test specification has been supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this soft aqua colourway for relaxed curtains or Roman blinds where its cool, pale tone can bring a light, restful quality to a room. Pair it with warm ivory, pale timber and gently contrasting blue-grey accents to retain its subdued character.

A cool, pale aqua textile with a quiet fine weave for understated window treatments.

Pairs well with

Sahara Iii Soft Aqua 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.
