About this fabric

The 299gsm cloth has a visible woven texture, with olive stripes forming balanced checks over the pale ivory base. Narrow red accents sit alongside the olive bands, adding warmth without overpowering the subdued colourway. Its vertical and horizontal pattern repeat is 8.7cm, creating a medium-scale check suited to both broad upholstery panels and window treatments. The 137cm usable width and 40m standard length provide practical coverage for coordinated schemes.

How to use it

Use Kelmscott Olive to upholster a relaxed armchair, bench or headboard, then echo its pale ground with warm ivory walls and pick up the muted red pinstripes in a cushion or ceramic accent. Its olive depth also works well with natural timber and aged brass.

A softly textured olive check that brings an easy country character to upholstery, curtains and blinds.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Kelmscott Olive without fighting it. 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.
