About this fabric

The surface appears finely woven and matte, with enough tonal variation to prevent the olive shade from looking completely flat. Its dense-looking construction gives the swatch a tailored, upholstery-ready character, while the plain design keeps attention on the depth of the colour. In softer light, the green recedes towards earthy charcoal, creating a quiet and grounded impression. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification data.

How to use it

Use Smooth Military on a structured armchair, sofa or dining seat where its dark olive tone can anchor warm timber, aged leather and muted neutral walls. It also works as a calm counterpoint to brass or rust-coloured accents without becoming a vivid feature colour.

Its deep, muted olive tone and restrained woven texture suit tailored upholstery in darker, considered schemes.

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.
