About this fabric

The olive-green background gives this colourway a cool, grounded depth, while coral-red flowers, pale pink and cream birds, and lighter leafy highlights add restrained contrast. The detailed repeat is arranged across 65.5 cm vertically and 67 cm horizontally, with birds and botanical forms appearing at a medium decorative scale. At 620 gsm and 288 threads per centimetre, the cloth has a substantial, closely woven handle suited to upholstery. Its usable width is 132 cm, with a standard length of 35 m for larger projects.

How to use it

Use the mossy olive tone to anchor a reading chair, bench or sofa, pairing it with warm timber, aged brass and plain linen in stone or oatmeal. Keep surrounding furnishings simple so the red, pink and cream details can read clearly against the dense green ground.

Use this richly detailed olive tapestry on an occasional chair, footstool or statement sofa, balancing its dense pattern with quiet plain textures.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Bird Tapestry Tump Green 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.
