About this fabric

The olive and brick tones sit clearly against the light cream background, creating a warm, muted contrast rather than a bright or highly saturated effect. Small curling botanical motifs repeat at 11.5 cm vertically and 12 cm horizontally, giving the cloth an even, closely spaced rhythm. At 220 gsm and 134.5 cm usable width, it is a versatile mid-weight fabric suitable for both upholstery and drapery applications. The 86 threads-per-centimetre construction supports the fine visual detail, while the standard length is 40 m.

How to use it

Use this Olive / Brick colourway to bring warmth to a pale sitting room: pair it with olive-painted wood, aged timber and brick or terracotta accents. Its compact repeat works especially well on occasional chairs, cushions and curtains where the cream ground can keep the overall scheme light.

A warm cream ground brings definition to the olive foliage and muted brick embroidery, suiting tailored upholstery, cushions and relaxed curtains.

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.
