Austen Zest shows a calm olive tone with a fine, horizontal striated look that softens the plain surface. The colour reads earthy and understated rather than bright, giving the swatch a quietly natural feel.

About this fabric

Part of Ashley Wilde’s Darwin Collection, Austen Zest is a plain fabric made from 90% recycled polyester and 10% polyester. It is specified for drapes only, with a width of 140cm, a weight of 200gsm, and a 280g linear weight. The surface appears smooth with a subtle woven texture that catches the light in delicate horizontal lines. This soft olive colourway feels grounded and muted, making it an easy choice when you want colour without sharp contrast.

How to use it

Use Austen Zest for relaxed curtains or simple blinds where a gentle olive wash will warm timber, stone and neutral schemes. Its low-key depth also works well in rooms that need colour but not pattern.

A muted olive plain that brings calm colour to flowing curtains and blinds.

Pairs well with

Austen 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.
