Paolo Olive is a tightly woven plain with a soft, pebble-like texture and a muted mossy olive tone. The surface reads earthy and understated, with gentle variation that gives the colourway depth without pattern.

About this fabric

This colourway shows a low-sheen olive ground with hints of sage and moss, so it feels natural rather than bright or khaki. The weave is visibly compact and textural, giving the plain a subtle dappled look across the surface. Made in 52% Polyester and 48% Cotton, Paolo is specified for Heavy Domestic use and offers a 40,000 Martindale, making it a practical choice for everyday seating. It is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, and after care is professional dry clean in situ, with the pattern book to be consulted for further instructions.

How to use it

Use this muted olive to soften modern upholstery, especially on sofas, armchairs or bench seating with timber and stone nearby. Its earthy depth pairs well with cream, tan and smoked wood, where the texture can read calm and grounded.

A quietly textured olive that works well on simple, hardworking upholstery shapes.

Paolo 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.
