Name: Nova Fr Military
Brand: Kirkby Design

Nova Fr Military is a deep military olive with an almost blackened depth in the shadowed areas of the swatch. Its close, softly mottled surface keeps the dark shade from reading completely flat.

About this fabric

Nova Fr Military is shown as a near-blackened olive green, with a restrained cast rather than a bright khaki tone. The close view reveals a compact, finely pebbled surface with gentle tonal variation across the plain ground. That low-contrast texture gives the colour depth without introducing a printed motif. No performance features or further specification data are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this dark olive on a tailored armchair, sofa or ottoman where its matte, subtly uneven surface can add depth without bringing in a strong pattern. Pair it with warm timber, aged brass and soft neutrals to balance the military green tone.

A dark, softly mottled olive upholstery fabric with a quiet, grounded presence.

Pairs well with

Nova Fr Military 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.
