About this fabric

The surface appears plain rather than patterned, with delicate vertical and horizontal threads creating a restrained woven texture. Its muted olive tone is softened by grey undertones, giving the colour a calm, weathered depth instead of a bright botanical green. Fine tonal variation across the face keeps the swatch from looking completely flat while retaining a clean, understated appearance. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Pair Chelsea Olive with warm timber, aged brass and natural stone for an earthy, settled scheme. Its greyed olive tone also works well against oatmeal, mushroom and charcoal upholstery accents.

Use this subdued olive weave to bring grounded colour and quiet texture to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Chelsea 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.
