Nura Olive

Nura III Fabric04784-21

Nura Olive is a calm, muted olive cotton with a smooth, even face and a softly natural look. The colour sits between green and gold, giving the swatch a warm, earthy depth rather than a bright botanical feel.

About this fabric

From the Nura III collection by Manuel Canovas, this fabric is 100% cotton with a width of approximately 140cm, no visible repeat, and BM fire compliance noted. The plain weave shown here reads as fine and lightly textured, with a consistent surface that lets the colour do the work. Nura Olive has a subdued, sun-warmed olive tone that feels grounded and slightly golden in the light, avoiding any harsh yellow cast. The overall effect is understated and easy to live with, making it a useful cloth when you want colour without a strong pattern. Its cotton handle and calm finish suit interiors that need a natural, relaxed look.

How to use it

Use Nura Olive for tailored cushions, simple upholstered pieces, or relaxed curtains where its warm olive tone can soften wood, linen and stone. It pairs especially well with tobacco browns, plaster pinks and quiet neutrals.

A versatile olive cotton that brings a warm, grounded look to both upholstery and curtains.

Pairs well with

Nura Olive 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.
