Valetta Cobalt

European Summer Fabricvaletta/fa1/cob

Valetta Cobalt brings a fresh, coastal feel with layered fern-like stems, fine sprays and scattered sea-toned blossoms across a pale ground. The mix of aqua, denim and soft sage accents gives the print a light, breezy depth.

About this fabric

This fabric is 100% Cotton and has a width of 140cm, making it a versatile decorative textile for coordinated interior schemes. The design repeats horizontally and vertically at 68.5cm, creating a large-scale botanical scene with plenty of movement through the pattern. In this colourway, the blues read cool and luminous rather than deep or saturated, with the paler ground keeping the whole design airy. Fine linework in navy and soft teal sits beside watercolour-like leaves and flower heads, giving the surface a layered, hand-painted look. It is Iron Safe, Dry Clean Only, and should not be bleached, treated with fabric softener, or tumble dried.

How to use it

Use Valetta Cobalt on relaxed curtains, a statement occasional chair or scatter cushions where the cool aqua tones can brighten the room. It works especially well with chalky whites, pale oak and brushed nickel for a fresh seaside palette.

Pair with pale linens and weathered woods to keep the airy coastal feel fresh.

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