About this fabric

The colour sits between moss green and olive, with subdued brown-grey depth that gives the swatch a grounded, natural appearance. Its 300gsm weight makes it a versatile mid-weight option for both upholstery and drapery. Close up, the surface shows delicate vertical and horizontal yarn lines with softly mottled highlights rather than a defined motif. Martello Olive is supplied at a 144cm usable width, with a 40m standard length and no vertical or horizontal pattern repeat.

How to use it

Use Martello Olive to bring a calm, earthy note to an occasional chair, sofa or full-length curtain, pairing its dark olive tone with warm timber, aged brass and softly contrasting creams. Its restrained texture also suits layered schemes where a strong pattern would feel too busy.

A versatile mid-weight olive weave with softly mottled colour and understated crosshatch texture.

Pairs well with

Martello Olive 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.
