M649 Woodland

Name: M649 Woodland
Brand: Mark Alexander

M649 Woodland is a near-solid woodland olive with a softly mottled surface rather than a printed motif. Fine intersecting threads create a restrained crosshatched texture across the swatch.

About this fabric

The colour reads as a deep, muted olive green, with cooler grey-green threads tempering its woodland depth. Its close plain weave gives the surface gentle visual variation while remaining quiet and non-directional. The supplied record contains no further specification data, including composition, width or performance testing. In this image, the even woven texture appears versatile enough to consider for both upholstery and drapery.

How to use it

Use this shaded olive on a reading chair, headboard or relaxed curtain to bring a grounded green note into a room. Pair it with warm timber, aged brass and natural neutrals to draw out the fabric’s softened woodland character.

A subdued woodland olive with a fine crosshatched weave, suited to calm upholstery and softly tailored drapery.

Pairs well with

M649 Woodland 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.
