Thornton Olive is a muted olive-green woven check with fine pale lines forming a neat, closely spaced grid. Its softly textured surface gives the colour a gently weathered depth rather than a flat, uniform finish.

About this fabric

The olive ground shifts subtly between green and earthy khaki, while the light grid lines keep the overall look crisp and tailored. The fine check has a 7.5 cm vertical repeat and an 8 cm horizontal repeat, creating a small, orderly scale across the cloth. With a 415 gsm weight and 144 cm usable width, Thornton is a substantial choice for upholstery projects. The 30 m standard length is well suited to furnishing orders requiring a continuous run.

How to use it

Pair Thornton Olive with warm timber, aged brass and natural linen, using its restrained khaki-green tone to anchor a traditional armchair, sofa or dining seat without making the room feel heavy.

Use this muted olive check to bring tailored structure and gentle warmth 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.
