About this fabric

This plain velvet reads as a rich olive green, softened by a brown-gold cast rather than a bright or yellowed green. The surface appears densely textured, with the nap creating faint directional changes in tone as it catches the light. There is no visible motif or contrasting pattern, allowing the depth of the olive shade and the plush velvet texture to carry the design. Catalogued as a velvet, it is particularly suited to upholstery where this dark, enveloping colour can be fully appreciated.

How to use it

Use this deep olive colour on a statement armchair, sofa or headboard, pairing it with warm timber, aged brass and soft cream textiles. Its brown-green depth also sits comfortably beside rust, ochre and natural linen tones.

The deep olive tone and softly reflective velvet pile bring rich, understated depth to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Medici Luxury Cotton Velvet in 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.
