About this fabric

Catalogued as a velvet from Dedar’s Velvet fabrics collection, Alexander Oliva has a short, softly textured pile visible across the plain swatch. Its muted olive tone sits between moss and khaki, with a slightly cool, grounded depth rather than a bright or yellow green. Changes in the pile direction create delicate darker and lighter areas, giving the otherwise unpatterned surface understated dimension. No performance features or further technical specifications were supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this muted olive on a tailored armchair, sofa or footstool where its earthy depth can anchor cream, natural wood and warm neutral interiors. The plain surface also gives patterned cushions room to stand out without competing for attention.

A muted olive velvet with a softly shifting pile, well suited to tailored seating and occasional chairs.

Pairs well with

Alexander 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.
