Chester Olive shows a fine leopard-style spot in soft olive tones over a warm, natural ground. The overall effect is quietly textured rather than high-contrast, giving the design an understated depth.

About this fabric

This colourway in the Chester collection reads as a muted olive green with a beige linen-ground feel, so the animal motif sits close to the surface rather than shouting from it. The 145cm approximate width and 44% viscose, 36% linen, 16% polyester, 3% cotton and 1% polyacrylic composition suggest a fabric with a natural handle but enough structure for upholstery. The repeat is approximately V 36cm / H 35cm, creating a balanced spotted layout that feels regular from a distance and more intricate up close. Q 8 + T 3 care coding and √BM fire code are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Chester Olive on a pair of armchairs, a ottoman or a tailored headboard where its olive tone can read as a sophisticated neutral. It works especially well with oak, aged brass and warm stone shades.

A subtle olive leopard spot that adds texture and depth without overpowering a scheme.

Pairs well with

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