About this fabric

This colourway reads as a restrained olive-grey, with the brown undertone of the weave keeping it warm rather than khaki-bright. The small, even texture gives it a tailored, fabric-led look, and the 0cm pattern repeat makes it an easy coordinate for larger schemes. Woven in 80% polyester and 20% cotton, and measuring 140cm wide, it is a practical plain from Fryett's Plains & Semi Plains collection. Its balanced body makes it suitable for both upholstery and drapery where a subtle, hard-working neutral is needed.

How to use it

Use it on an accent chair, banquette or simple curtains where you want colour without noise. The muted elephant tone pairs well with pale oak, putty, charcoal and chalky white.

A quietly versatile olive tone that works beautifully across seating and soft furnishings.

Pairs well with

Nirvana Elephant 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.
