About this fabric

This colourway shows fine leafy sprays in a muted, slightly greyed olive, set against a warm ivory background rather than a stark white. The open arrangement and delicate leaf markings keep the pattern light, while the overlapping branches add subtle depth across the surface. At 177 gsm, the wallpaper is supplied in a 52 cm usable width and a 10.05 m standard length. Its vertical pattern repeat is 45.5 cm, with a 0 cm horizontal repeat for a continuous side-to-side layout.

How to use it

Use Willow Olive across a bedroom, landing or relaxed sitting room where its softened olive tone can sit alongside natural timber, linen and warm ivory paint. Its pale contrast is particularly effective in rooms that benefit from botanical detail without a strong, saturated colour statement.

A softly muted olive botanical on an ivory ground, well suited to calm, light-filled interiors.

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