Reece FabricJ0268-26

Reece Forest is a calm, muted green fabric with a softly woven, natural-looking surface. Its depth reads as an earthy forest tone rather than a bright emerald, giving it an understated elegance.

About this fabric

Woven in 70% cotton and 30% linen, this Reece colourway has a dry, slightly textured handle that suits a refined everyday interior. The cloth appears as a near-plain with subtle horizontal striations and a gentle matte finish, so the forest green feels grounded and natural rather than glossy or jewel-like. With no visible repeat and an approximate width of 142cm, it is straightforward to pattern-match for larger drops or tailored upholstery pieces. The shade sits between green and grey, creating a versatile, smart finish that can soften strong shapes or lend quiet depth to simpler furniture.

How to use it

Use Forest on a sofa, armchair or Roman blind where its muted green can sit comfortably with oak, stone and chalky neutrals. It is especially effective in rooms that need colour with restraint, adding richness without overpowering the scheme.

A quietly elegant green that works beautifully on upholstery or relaxed curtains.

Pairs well with

Reece Forest 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.
