About this fabric

This swatch reads as a dark olive green, close to an earthy moss shade but with a cooler, charcoal-like depth in the shadows. Short, irregular fibres create the characteristic nubby boucle texture visible across the surface, with no printed motif or contrasting pattern. Its substantial-looking, tactile weave makes it particularly suited to upholstery, where the changing pile and tonal variation can be appreciated. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification for this colourway.

How to use it

Pair Orkney Olive with warm timber, aged leather and natural stone for a grounded, quietly sophisticated room. Its deep green tone also works well as an enveloping upholstery colour against soft creams or muted putty neutrals.

Use this deep olive boucle to add quiet, tactile depth to upholstered seating and occasional furniture.

Orkney 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.
