About this fabric

This colourway is a muted olive tone with a warm, khaki-leaning cast that reads calm rather than bright. The close weave gives the surface a neat, slightly textured look, and the 100% cotton composition keeps it looking natural and understated. With a width of 140cm and no pattern repeat, it is straightforward to plan for on practical projects. The overall effect is a restrained, easy-to-live-with fabric that brings depth without visual noise.

How to use it

Use Carrera Olive on tailored chairs, bench seats or cushions where its earthy tone can sit alongside timber, tan leather and aged brass. It also works well in rooms with warm whites and deep botanical greens, where the colour feels settled and natural.

A subtle olive cloth that works cleanly across upholstery and soft furnishings.

Pairs well with

Carrera Olive 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.
