Colville Stripe Olive/Red

Colville Stripe Olive/Red is a narrow vertical stripe with a quietly weathered look, set against a soft pale ground. The olive note is gently softened rather than bright, giving the whole fabric a calm, tailored feel.

About this fabric

This Colefax and Fowler fabric is woven in 84% viscose and 16% linen, with an approximate width of 142cm and a horizontal repeat of 7cm. The stripe reads in slim bands of muted olive, warm red and faded neutral tones, with a light slub that gives the surface a slightly lived-in texture. The colourway feels more mellow than vivid, so the red elements sit as dusty accents rather than strong contrast. Its balanced weave and measured stripe make it a versatile textile for both structured upholstery and elegant window treatments.

How to use it

Use it where you want pattern without heaviness: on a slipper chair, a window seat or curtains layered into a room with stone, oak or soft white finishes. The olive ground and soft red detailing suit country-house schemes and rooms that benefit from a gentle, settled stripe.

A restrained stripe that pairs neatly with painted joinery, natural timber and tailored soft furnishings.

Pairs well with

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