Smooth Khaki

Name: Smooth Khaki
Brand: Kirkby Design

Smooth Khaki is a quiet, greyed green with the earthy restraint associated with natural khaki. Its plain surface appears finely textured and softly mottled rather than completely flat, giving the colour gentle depth.

About this fabric

The swatch shows a uniform khaki ground that sits between olive green and warm grey, with a muted tone rather than a bright or saturated finish. A very fine, even texture is visible across the surface, creating subtle tonal variation as the light moves over it. The design is plain, with no visible motif or repeat. No performance features or further technical specifications are noted in the supplied information.

How to use it

Use Smooth Khaki where a room needs a calm, grounded green-grey: it can quietly cover a tailored chair, sofa or blind while complementing timber, stone and warm neutral finishes.

A subdued grey-green plain weave that brings soft, grounded colour to upholstery or drapery.

Pairs well with

Smooth Khaki 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.
