About this fabric

The velvet reads as a rich, muted olive rather than a bright leaf green, with darker green-black areas deepening the pattern between the folds. Its surface catches the light unevenly, revealing a plush sheen across the raised, organic markings. The repeating motif has a slightly reptilian, abstract quality, while the dense curtain folds give the design substantial visual depth. As a velvet curtain fabric, this colourway is particularly effective when gathered, where the changing light accentuates its dark olive tonal variation.

How to use it

Use Laurustine at a window in a warm neutral room, where its deep olive tone can sit alongside aged brass, stone and walnut. The shadowed velvet pattern also suits a dramatic reading nook or a single statement chair.

A deep olive velvet with a shadowed patterned surface that brings richness to curtains or statement upholstery.

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.
