Bourdon Stripe Olive

Name: Bourdon Stripe Olive
Brand: Colefax and Fowler
SKU: F4966-02

Bourdon Stripe Olive is a finely worked vertical stripe in a softened olive green, broken by pale, chalky accents that sharpen the pattern. The result is a calm, tailored look with just enough texture to feel alive rather than flat.

About this fabric

This Silvano Stripes fabric has a neat, narrow vertical repeat that reads clearly across the cloth, with a woven ribbed effect that gives the stripe gentle movement. The olive ground is muted and slightly greyed, while the lighter threads sit close to cream and bring a cooler edge to the design. Made from 54% viscose, 27% cotton, 16% linen and 3% polyamide, it has the mixed-fibre texture and balance to sit comfortably in both decorative furnishing and softer window applications. The approximate 148cm width and 10cm vertical by 9cm horizontal repeat make it practical for broader panels, blinds or upholstery pieces where the stripe can be aligned cleanly.

How to use it

Use this olive colourway on tailored occasional chairs, bench seats or Roman blinds where the slim stripe can add quiet structure. It pairs especially well with oak, aged brass and warm neutrals, letting the muted green feel composed rather than strong.

A restrained olive stripe with a crisp woven look, ideal for tailored upholstery or elegant curtains.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Bourdon Stripe 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.
