About this fabric

Alpha Lime Zest is a plain-looking textile in a subdued lime green that leans olive rather than bright citrus. Subtle tonal variation across the surface creates a softly mottled, almost brushed appearance, while the matte finish keeps the colour grounded. No composition, width, usage or rub-test information has been supplied for this fabric. Its non-directional appearance and restrained yellow-green tone make it a versatile choice where gentle colour is preferred over a bold pattern.

How to use it

Use this olive-lime colourway to add a fresh but softened accent to neutral upholstery, or pair it with warm timber, natural fibres and creamy walls for a quietly organic scheme.

The softly mottled, non-directional surface suits relaxed upholstery and simple window treatments.

Pairs well with

Alpha Lime Zest 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.
