Maison Dark Olive

Maison Fabric106

Maison Dark Olive is a rich, shadowy plain with a soft sheen that lifts the folds and ridges of the fabric. Its deep olive tone reads almost black in the shade, then warms to a muted green-gold as the light moves across it.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% polyester, Maison Dark Olive is specified for heavy domestic use and tested to 80,000 Martindale, making it a practical choice for hardworking seating. The cloth has the look of a smooth, close plain rather than a textured pattern, with a fine surface lustre that catches on the creases and highlights the depth of the olive colour. In this colourway the green note is especially subdued and earthy, sitting closer to dark moss or forest olive than a bright khaki. It is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, and professional dry clean in situ is advised.

How to use it

Use this deep olive shade on a sofa, banquette or accent chair where the fabric’s sheen can pick up the light along the piping and seat fronts. It pairs well with warm oak, antique brass and chalky neutrals to keep the room grounded rather than overly dark.

A moody olive plain with a subtle lustre that brings depth to tailored upholstery.

Pairs well with

Maison Dark 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.
