About this fabric

The surface is defined by narrow, even wales running vertically from edge to edge, giving the cloth a softly ridged texture rather than a flat plain finish. Bay-leaf olive sits between green and brown, reading warm and grounded in the image while the raised ribs catch slightly lighter highlights. The regular cord texture adds quiet direction and depth without introducing a separate motif or strong contrast. Its visibly structured, substantial weave makes this colourway particularly well suited to upholstery where tactile surface detail is wanted.

How to use it

Use this muted olive-brown on a reading chair, bench or compact sofa, pairing it with warm timber, aged brass and cream or stone textiles to keep the earthy shade balanced. The fine vertical rib can also subtly elongate upholstered forms.

A muted bay-leaf cord with fine vertical ribbing, suited to relaxed upholstered seating and occasional chairs.

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.
