Lyrical Forest/Black Earth

Name: Lyrical Forest/Black Earth
Brand: Harlequin
SKU: HAF0455-01

Lyrical Forest/Black Earth reads as a deep, earthy olive green, covered with a dense field of fine black linear marks. The dark accents sit close to the ground colour, giving the swatch a richly textured, almost hand-drawn appearance.

About this fabric

The mossy green ground has a slightly muted, natural depth rather than a bright leaf-green quality, while the black marks create a tightly layered all-over effect. Short, irregular strokes vary across the surface, so the design feels animated without forming a large, obvious motif. At 628 gsm, this is a substantial textile suited to upholstery and other hard-wearing interior applications. It has a 140.7 cm usable width, with a 34.6 cm vertical repeat and 35 cm horizontal repeat for planning patterned pieces.

How to use it

Pair this olive-and-black colourway with warm timber, charcoal or natural leather, where its earthy depth can anchor a chair, sofa or upholstered bench. Keep surrounding patterns quieter so the closely spaced linear texture remains the main visual detail.

The earthy olive ground and black linear marks bring lively texture to plain upholstery and relaxed contemporary interiors.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Lyrical Forest/Black Earth without fighting it. 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.
