Soulful Olive

Name: Soulful Olive
Brand: J Brown
SKU: 196

Soulful Olive is a richly textured plain in a deep mossy olive tone, with darker shadowing that gives the surface extra depth. The close weave reads earthy and grounded, with a subtle mottled effect that keeps the colourway feeling lively rather than flat.

About this fabric

Part of the Soulful collection by J Brown, this plain fabric sits among 26 colourways and is made from 100% Recycled Polyester. Its 40,000 Martindale rating and Heavy Domestic usage make it well suited to hardworking interior projects, while the back-coated fire specification is supplied to Cigarette & Match to BS5852. Visually, the swatch has a dry, tactile surface with a compact woven texture and irregular olive, khaki and brown undertones that settle into a deep woodland hue. The overall effect is muted and sophisticated, with enough tonal movement to soften large upholstery pieces without appearing busy. Professional dry clean in situ is recommended, with further care guidance in the pattern book.

How to use it

Use this olive tone on a sofa, banquette or accent chair where you want a grounded, natural look with a little depth. It pairs especially well with warm timber, aged brass and off-white linens.

A muted olive with a textured finish that works beautifully on tailored seating and statement cushions.

Pairs well with

Soulful 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.
