Venetia Olive Velvet has a muted, earthy olive tone with khaki and brown depth visible through its softly varied surface. The nap catches the light in blurred, tonal patches rather than a uniform flat colour.

About this fabric

This fabric is catalogued as a velvet, and its dense-looking surface is suited to upholstery. Across the swatch, olive green moves between mossy shadow and lighter khaki highlights, giving the colour a softly aged, vintage character. The close, mottled nap creates subtle directional variation as the light moves across it, without introducing a visible motif. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification data.

How to use it

Use this muted olive velvet on a statement armchair, sofa or headboard where its khaki depth can sit comfortably with aged timber, antique brass and warm neutrals. Its softly shifting nap also adds tonal richness to darker, more atmospheric rooms.

Use this softly shaded olive velvet to bring quiet depth and a vintage, tactile feel to upholstered seating.

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.
