Bibi Fabric

Kala Olive combines a muted olive ground with cream geometric medallions, creating a softly aged, decorative pattern with plenty of visual depth. Ochre details and fine dark outlines give the design a hand-drawn, textile-like character.

About this fabric

The olive background reads warm and earthy, while the large cream medallions bring definition without making the colourway feel stark. Each medallion contains delicate scrolling marks, small floral-like details and ochre accents, set against an irregular olive-and-cream infill. Made from 100% linen at approximately 137cm wide, this fabric is specified for curtains and fixed upholstery in a general domestic setting. Allow 3% shrinkage; care is listed as Delicate Wash at 30°C or Dry Clean.

How to use it

Pair Kala Olive with warm ivory, aged oak and natural woven textures to emphasise its softened botanical geometry. It works especially well as full-length curtains or on a statement chair where the olive ground can be seen across the larger medallion repeat.

Use this muted olive linen to bring patterned depth to curtains, occasional chairs or fixed upholstery.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Kala Olive without fighting it. 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.
