Lovat

Kheri Carpet

Lovat is a subdued olive-grey textile with a finely mottled surface and a softly varied depth of colour. Its close texture reads as understated rather than patterned, giving the swatch a calm, grounded character.

About this fabric

The colour sits between olive, grey and brown, with darker and lighter fibres creating a low-contrast, weathered effect across the surface. A fine, closely woven texture is visible in the swatch, while the uneven tonal flecks prevent the shade from appearing flat. Catalogued as Carpet, this is a visually substantial textile with the depth and resilience suggested by its dense surface. The overall impression is cool, muted and quietly sophisticated rather than bright or decorative.

How to use it

Use Lovat on a tailored armchair, sofa or footstool where its muted olive-grey tone can anchor warmer timber, leather and natural stone. It also works well as a restrained counterpoint to cream, chalky neutrals and deep brown accents.

A deep, quietly mottled olive-grey textile that brings subtle texture and an understated finish to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Lovat 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.
