Genoa Leaf is a softly luminous silk in a gentle leaf green, with a fine vertical rib that gives the surface quiet movement. The colour feels fresh but muted, with a pale, airy finish that catches the light delicately.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% silk and measuring approximately 138cm wide, this Genoa colourway has a crisp, lightly ridged texture that reads clean and elegant rather than glossy. The repeat is very restrained at V 0cm / H 0.5cm approx, so the emphasis stays on the fabric’s subtle vertical striation and its soft green tone. Genoa Leaf sits between sage and pale olive, with enough warmth to feel inviting and enough freshness to keep it bright. The silk surface gives the shade a gentle sheen that lifts the colour without making it overtly shiny.

How to use it

Use Genoa Leaf for relaxed, tailored curtains, roman blinds or simple upholstered cushions where the pale green can soften natural wood, limestone or painted white joinery. Its calm leaf tone is especially effective in rooms that need colour without visual weight.

A refined silk green that works beautifully for tailored curtains or elegant light upholstery accents.

Pairs well with

Genoa Leaf 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.
