Paolo Forest is a quietly textured plain in a muted forest green, with a soft heathered look that keeps the colour from reading flat. The close weave gives it an understated, tactile finish.

About this fabric

Paolo Forest from the Paolo collection by J Brown is a plain fabric made from 52% polyester and 48% cotton, with a Martindale rating of 40,000 and a Heavy Domestic usage rating. In this colourway, the green sits in a subdued woodland register rather than a bright leaf tone, with earthy grey undertones that soften the overall effect. The weave is visibly nubbly and compact, giving the surface a practical, slightly rustic texture that suits seating. It is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, and after care is Professional Dry Clean in situ.

How to use it

Use this muted forest shade on a sofa, armchair or banquette where you want colour without brightness. It pairs especially well with oak, linen neutrals and brass details, letting the texture do the work.

A versatile green plain that brings a grounded, textural finish to everyday upholstery.

Pairs well with

Paolo Forest 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.
