Broadleaf Olive shows a softly botanical trail of leaves and stems on a muted olive-beige ground. The design reads airy and refined, with the foliage pattern keeping the overall effect light rather than dense.

About this fabric

Broadleaf Olive from the Ashdown collection by Colefax and Fowler is a patterned fabric with a repeat of approximately V 39cm / H 44cm and an approximate width of 133cm. Its composition of 34% cotton, 30% linen, 21% viscose and 15% polyester gives the cloth a natural-looking surface with a gentle, textile softness. In this colourway the ground sits between olive and warm stone, so the painted leaves in blue-green, sage and soft pink stand out without feeling sharp. The scale of the motif makes the design feel decorative and readable across a wider expanse, while the Q 8 + T 3 care code and √BM fire rating add practical specification detail for project use.

How to use it

Use it where a calm floral with a warm olive base is wanted, such as a bedroom headboard or window treatment alongside pale wood and brushed brass. The muted ground also sits neatly with chalky pinks, fern greens and linen neutrals.

Pair with natural timber and soft pinks to bring out the quiet olive ground.

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