About this fabric

This colourway is built from overlapping checks and vertical bands in muted aqua, dusty blue-grey, rust and pale sandy tan. The aqua reads cool and softened rather than bright, while the rust notes add warmth through the middle and darker sections of the plaid. A close, visibly textured weave breaks up the blocks of colour with subtle flecking and chevron-like detail. The overall effect is relaxed and layered, with enough tonal variation to give upholstered furniture depth without a sharp contrast.

How to use it

Use Aqua/Rust on a relaxed armchair, footstool or sofa where its cool blue-green notes can sit alongside warm timber and the rust tones can echo terracotta or aged leather. Keep surrounding pieces quiet so the softly checked weave remains the focal texture.

Pair the cool aqua and warm rust checks with natural timber, tan leather or softly aged neutral upholstery.

Oakes - Aqua/Rust 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.
