Olivia Red/Green brings a lively botanical scene to a soft ivory ground, with birds, blossoms and slender branches picked out in red, green and blue. The overall effect is fresh and decorative, with just enough texture in the ground to keep the print feeling textile-rich rather than flat.

About this fabric

Printed on a 71% linen, 22% viscose and 7% polyester base, this 128cm-wide fabric has the crisp, slightly slubbed look you expect from linen, softened by the viscose content. The design shows branching stems, scattered flowers and small birds in a palette of clear red, sage green, duck-egg blue and coral against a warm ivory background. That contrast gives the colourway a brighter, more energetic character than a muted floral, while the repeated motif still reads elegant and controlled. With no performance features noted and a wide vertical/horizontal repeat of approximately 79cm by 128cm, it suits statement interiors where the pattern is allowed to run.

How to use it

Pair it with painted timber, pale oak or aged brass to echo the traditional character of the design. It works especially well in rooms that can handle a decorative focal point, such as relaxed sitting rooms or scheme-led bedrooms.

Use it for a tailored feature piece or soft drapes where the botanical motif can breathe.

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