About this fabric

This colourway reads as a saturated forest green with a distinct blue-teal cast, giving the shade more depth than a straightforward leafy green. The close-up image shows a plain, finely textured surface with gentle mottling rather than a visible printed motif. Light catches the nap softly, creating understated shifts between darker and slightly brighter green areas. Its dense, velvety-looking handle makes it particularly convincing on upholstered seating and other tactile furniture pieces.

How to use it

Use this deep forest-green teal on a statement armchair, sofa or upholstered headboard, pairing it with warm timber, aged brass and soft cream textiles to balance its saturated depth. It also works well as a grounding colour in rooms built around muted neutrals.

A rich forest-green teal with a softly suede-like surface for refined upholstered seating.

Dakota Suede Ii Forest 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.
