Serpa Olive

Name: Serpa Olive
Brand: Porter & Stone

Plains & Semi Plains Fabric

Serpa Olive has a softly mottled olive tone, lifted by a pale ground and a gently textured surface that gives the fabric quiet depth. The small-scale woven effect keeps the colour feeling natural rather than saturated.

About this fabric

This colourway reads as a muted olive with beige and stone highlights, so the surface looks subtly variegated rather than flat. The woven texture is clearly visible in the close-up, with a slightly nubby handle that adds character without appearing heavy. At 137cm wide and composed of 64% Polyester and 36% Cotton, it offers a practical balance for upholstery or curtains. The 35.5cm pattern repeat suggests a designed surface with enough structure to make a statement while still feeling understated. Care code AQW1< should be checked before making cleaning or finishing decisions.

How to use it

Pair this soft olive with natural oak, limewashed walls, and warm neutrals for a calm, grounded scheme. It would also sit well beside brass accents and tonal green cushions for a layered, relaxed look.

A quietly textured olive that works well on tailored seating or relaxed curtains.

Serpa 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.
