About this fabric

Made from 100% linen and approximately 137cm wide, Marietta Olive is specified for curtains and cushions. Its olive tone sits towards the warm, brown-green end of the palette, while the finely crosshatched weave creates a gently tactile finish. The plain construction keeps the surface understated, allowing the natural slubs and small tonal variations visible in the cloth to carry the character. This fabric is recommended for dry cleaning.

How to use it

Use Marietta Olive for relaxed curtains that soften a room with an earthy green cast, or introduce it on cushions alongside warm timber, tan leather and natural stone. Its muted depth also works well as a grounded counterpoint to cream and oatmeal textiles.

Use this softly textured olive linen to bring an earthy, relaxed note to curtains, cushions and layered neutral schemes.

Pairs well with

Marietta Olive 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.
