Northia Olive/Peacock

Northia Olive/Peacock combines a pale, softly textured ground with branching leafy sprigs in subdued olive, moss and deep peacock-blue tones. The layered leaf shading gives this botanical design a gently painterly, tactile appearance.

About this fabric

This woven fabric has a light neutral background scattered with slender stems and rounded leaves, each built from muted olive, khaki and peacock-blue tones. At 245 gsm and 139 cm wide, it has the substance for both upholstery and drapery applications. The pattern repeats every 82 cm vertically and 69.5 cm horizontally, allowing the leafy arrangement to be planned across wider pieces. Its cool blue accents add depth to the otherwise earthy olive palette without making the colourway feel bright or highly saturated.

How to use it

Pair the olive and peacock-blue leaves with warm ivory, weathered wood and mossy green for a calm botanical scheme. Use it on an occasional chair or full-length curtains where the pale ground can keep the room feeling light.

Use this softly textured botanical for relaxed upholstery, curtains or coordinated cushions in pale, nature-led rooms.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Northia Olive/Peacock 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.
