Cord Fr Crib 5 Basil

Name: Cord Fr Crib 5 Basil
Brand: Kirkby Design

Cord Fr Crib 5 Basil is a deep basil-green cord with closely spaced vertical ribs running consistently across the surface. Its olive depth gives the colour a grounded, earthy presence, while the raised texture creates subtle tonal variation as the light moves across it.

About this fabric

The narrow cord ribs produce a compact, linear texture rather than a broad stripe, giving this colourway a quietly tactile appearance. Its dark basil tone leans olive and reads muted rather than bright, with the ribbed surface catching fine highlights against deeper recessed lines. The visible construction has the substantial, structured look associated with upholstery cloth. No composition, width or rub-test specification has been supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Pair the deep olive-basil tone with warm timber, aged leather and natural stone for an earthy scheme, or use it to add depth to a softer neutral room. The vertical ribbing works particularly well on occasional chairs, headboards and tailored seating.

Use this deep basil green cord to bring earthy colour and tactile vertical texture to upholstered seating.

Cord Fr Crib 5 Basil 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.
