About this fabric

The swatch shows a plain woven ground rather than a printed or raised motif, with delicate vertical and horizontal threads creating a subtle textile grain. Its restrained olive tone has a slightly yellowed, natural character, giving the surface more warmth than a cool sage or grey-green. The weave reads as even and finely textured, with gentle tonal variation across the cloth. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Hackney Willow to soften a room with an earthy olive accent on an armchair, sofa or relaxed curtain. It pairs naturally with warm timber, chalky neutrals and woven accessories, while its low-contrast surface keeps the overall scheme calm.

Its softly muted olive tone and fine weave bring a quiet, natural finish to upholstery or curtains.

Pairs well with

Hackney Willow 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.
