About this fabric

The close, even surface is crossed by fine horizontal striations, creating texture without a distinct printed motif. Dark olive, moss and near-charcoal tones sit together across the face, making the colour read muted and earthy rather than bright. Subtle tonal variation catches the light unevenly and gives the plain design a gently lived-in character. No composition, width, rub test or performance specification has been supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Pair this deep nettle shade with warm timber, aged leather and chalky neutrals for a grounded scheme. Its low-contrast texture can cover a sofa, occasional chair or full-length curtain without introducing a strong pattern.

Use this deep olive tone to bring grounded colour and quiet texture to upholstery or curtains.

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.
