About this fabric

The artichoke-olive background reads as subdued and earthy rather than bright, while the pale leafy trails create a finely defined botanical surface. Small branches overlap across the face of the fabric, giving the 42 cm vertical by 22 cm horizontal repeat a dense, continuous rhythm. At 328 gsm and 137 cm usable width, this is a substantial mid-weight fabric suited to upholstery and drapery applications. Its stated 127 threads per cm support the closely textured look visible across the swatch.

How to use it

Use the muted olive tone to bring depth to a reading chair, bench or full-length curtain, pairing it with warm ivory, weathered timber and soft neutral upholstery. The pale foliage can also be picked out with cream or stone plain fabrics for a quieter scheme.

A softly muted olive botanical that brings leafy detail to upholstery, curtains and blinds.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Willow Bough Artichoke/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.
