Nova Fr Olive

Name: Nova Fr Olive
Brand: Kirkby Design

Nova Fr Olive presents a deep, muted olive tone with a softly brushed surface and subtle tonal variation across the face. Its low-contrast finish gives the colour a calm, grounded presence rather than a bright botanical green.

About this fabric

Catalogued as a fabric, Nova Fr Olive has the dense, opaque appearance of an upholstery-weight textile in this swatch image. The olive shade leans earthy and moss-like, with darker areas adding depth through the softly mottled surface. Fine directional shading catches the light gently, creating a quiet brushed effect rather than a pronounced sheen. No composition, width, rub test or performance features were supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use this muted moss olive on a statement armchair, sofa or upholstered headboard where its earthy depth can anchor chalky neutrals, walnut timber and aged metal finishes.

Use this deep, muted olive as a grounding upholstery shade alongside warm timber, aged brass and natural neutrals.

Pairs well with

Nova Fr Olive 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.
