Alvar Olive is a quietly dimensional plain fabric in a warm olive green, softened by cloudy tonal variation across the surface. Its low-contrast texture gives the colour a gently weathered depth rather than a flat, uniform appearance.

About this fabric

The 300gsm cloth has a medium-weight presence, while the close, softly mottled surface catches the light in subtle shifts from olive to yellowed green. There is no pattern repeat vertically or horizontally, making the surface visually continuous across the 144cm usable width. A standard length of 35m provides practical scope for coordinated upholstery or drapery applications. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use this warm olive colourway to bring a muted, earthy note to an upholstered chair or sofa, or to add softly shaded fullness to curtains. Its tonal surface works especially well where a plain fabric is wanted without a completely even finish.

A warm, softly mottled olive green with enough visual depth to suit both upholstery and window treatments.

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.
