About this fabric

This colourway of Medora by Colefax and Fowler is a woven fabric with a compact repeat of approximately V 3cm / H 2cm and a width of about 142cm. The cloth is made from 40% viscose, 19% acrylic, 16% cotton, 11% linen, 10% wool and 4% polyester, which gives the surface a mixed, gently tactile look. In Newland Olive, the pattern sits in muted moss and olive tones against a pale cream-beige ground, so the design feels earthy rather than bright. The weave has a crisp, lightly textural finish that suits the restrained geometry of the motif. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Newland Olive where you want a grounded green that still feels refined, especially with oak, aged brass or chalky neutrals. Its small-scale pattern works neatly on an occasional chair, blind or pelmet, and the soft olive tone keeps the room calm.

A restrained olive weave that adds texture 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 Newland 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.
