About this fabric

Catalogued as velvet, this colourway has a short, vertically aligned pile that creates subtle light and dark tracks across the surface. The olive tone is softened by earthy khaki and brown shading, giving it a grounded, slightly smoky appearance rather than a bright green read. There is no printed motif; the visual interest comes from the fine nap and softly mottled tonal variation visible in the image. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this brown-leaning olive on a statement armchair, sofa or headboard where its shaded pile can add depth. Pair it with warm timber, aged brass and pale stone to balance the colour’s earthy richness.

Use this deep olive velvet to bring softly shaded, tactile richness to upholstered seating and accent pieces.

Cinema Velvet Olive 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.
