About this fabric

Woven in 100% cotton, Carrera Forrest is a fabric with a close, matte surface and no visible pattern repeat, so the colour does all the work. The 140cm width makes it straightforward for both upholstery and drapery projects, depending on the look you want to achieve. In this colourway the green leans earthy rather than vivid, with a subdued forest tone that feels grounded and easy to live with. The small, regular weave gives the swatch a neat, understated texture that suits clean-lined interiors.

How to use it

Use this olive tone on an upholstered armchair or simple curtains where you want colour that feels calm rather than sharp. It pairs especially well with oak, aged brass, chalky neutrals and other muted greens.

A versatile olive cotton with a calm, tailored finish.

Pairs well with

Carrera Forrest 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.
