Blend Military

Name: Blend Military
Brand: Kirkby Design

Blend Military is a quiet, desaturated olive-grey plain with a gently brushed appearance. Fine vertical striations shift across the surface, giving the colourway understated depth rather than a completely flat finish.

About this fabric

The swatch combines military olive with cool grey undertones, creating a softened, weathered tone that reads calm and restrained. Narrow vertical lines and tonal bands are visible throughout the cloth, while the lightly textured surface catches the light unevenly. There is no distinct printed motif; the interest comes from the changing density of the weave and the contrast between lighter and darker olive-grey areas. Its apparent mid-weight handle makes it suitable for both upholstery and drapery.

How to use it

Use this muted olive-grey on a sofa, occasional chair or full-length curtain where its cool, softened tone can balance warm timber, stone and understated neutral furnishings. The vertical striation will add quiet structure without introducing a strong pattern.

A softly textured olive-grey plain with subtle vertical tonal movement for upholstery or drapery.

Blend Military 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.
