Plushy Militare is a deep olive-brown velvet with a visibly plush, clouded surface. Its uneven tonal shading gives the compact swatch a softly weathered depth rather than a flat, uniform colour.

About this fabric

The dense-looking pile catches the light in irregular patches, moving between near-black brown, olive and softer smoky highlights. Across the swatch, the tonal variation reads as a cloudy mottled effect rather than a printed motif. This dark Militare colourway has a grounded, military-inspired character, tempered by the tactile softness visible in the velvet surface. Its substantial-looking velvet construction makes it particularly convincing for upholstered furniture where the shifting pile can be seen at close range.

How to use it

Use this dark olive-brown on a generous armchair, sofa or ottoman, pairing it with warm wood and softened neutrals to bring out the colour’s earthy depth. Keep surrounding textures relatively quiet so the cloudy pile remains the focal point.

Its deep olive-brown tone and softly shifting pile bring enveloping depth to upholstered seating and occasional pieces.

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.
