About this fabric

Bayton Olive from the Ellerdine collection by Colefax and Fowler is a fabric with a repeating vertical design at approximately 15cm repeat vertically and 43cm horizontally, on a width of about 130cm. The composition blends 39% Cotton, 29% Viscose, 14% Acrylic, 11% Polyester and 7% Linen, giving it a fabric hand that reads more like a usable decorative weave than a light sheer. In the swatch, the olive ground sits between green and khaki, while the cream motif and tiny rust-red details keep the pattern lively without feeling bright. The narrow stripe structure and the small geometric floral elements make it feel orderly and traditional, with enough texture to suit both upholstery and curtains. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for this exact cloth.

How to use it

Use Bayton Olive where you want a grounded, heritage feel: it works well on an armchair, bench cushion, or full-length curtains. Pair it with oak, tobacco leather, and warm plaster tones to bring out the fabric’s soft olive depth.

The muted olive ground and small-scale repeat feel tailored and easy to pair with warm woods and natural linens.

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.
