Frances Stripe Olive

Name: Frances Stripe Olive
Brand: Colefax and Fowler
SKU: F4971-08

Frances Stripe Olive is a finely striped fabric with a quiet, tailored presence, showing soft olive bands against a pale ground. The vertical rhythm feels fresh and orderly, with just enough texture to keep the surface from reading flat.

About this fabric

This colourway pairs a muted olive green stripe with a warm off-white ground, creating a light, airy contrast rather than a heavy block of colour. The narrow vertical stripes sit within a repeat of approximately 5cm horizontally and no visible vertical repeat, giving the design a neat, measured cadence. Woven in 52% Linen, 42% Viscose and 6% Polyamide, it has the dry-natural character of linen tempered by a smoother, more polished finish. At approximately 148cm wide, it is a practical textile for bespoke interior work, and the fire code √BM plus care code Q 8 + T 3 are recorded for specification purposes.

How to use it

Use this olive stripe on tailored curtains, blinds or a smart upholstered chair where the pale ground will help a room feel brighter. It sits especially well with stone, oak and other soft neutrals, adding a calm hint of colour without overpowering the scheme.

A restrained olive stripe that feels crisp and versatile against pale woods or soft neutrals.

Pairs well with

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