About this fabric

The design is formed from repeated narrow vertical bands, with darker olive lines set against warm ivory and occasional finer tonal lines visible between them. Its restrained contrast makes the stripe feel smart and composed rather than graphic or high-impact. A fine, even textile texture is visible across the swatch, giving the pale ground subtle depth as the light catches it. No performance features are noted in the supplied details.

How to use it

Use this olive-and-ivory colourway to bring tailored structure to a light, neutral room, particularly on Roman blinds, curtains or a neatly piped occasional chair. Pair it with warm ivory, natural timber and muted olive accents to draw out the stripe’s quietly botanical tone.

A crisp olive-and-ivory stripe for tailored upholstery, blinds or full-length 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.
