Tempera Oliva is a deep olive-grey textile with a finely textured, closely woven surface. Its subdued green tone reads almost charcoal in the darker areas of the swatch, giving the cloth a calm, grounded presence.

About this fabric

The swatch shows a plain, even weave with tiny tonal variations that keep the surface from appearing flat. Its olive colouring is muted and cool-leaning, sitting between deep green and softened grey rather than a bright botanical shade. The fine cloth and understated texture are well suited to the curtain-fabric collection, particularly where a composed, softly tailored drape is wanted. Light picks up the small woven fibres without creating a pronounced sheen.

How to use it

Use Tempera Oliva as full-length curtains in a room with pale stone, smoked oak or brushed metal, where its deep olive-grey tone can provide quiet contrast without dominating the scheme.

Use this deep olive-grey cloth for quietly tailored curtains alongside warm woods, stone and aged brass.

Tempera Oliva 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.
