Misc Fabric

11897ST/B02 is a quiet olive-taupe woven surface, where fine vertical and horizontal threads build a softly broken, weathered-looking texture. Its low-contrast tonal shifts keep the colour earthy rather than stark.

About this fabric

Viewed close-up, the ground combines olive, taupe and grey-brown threads in a dense, irregular crosshatch, with occasional lighter flecks catching across the surface. As a catalogued Fabric from the Misc (Moons) collection, it is supplied without any performance features noted in the record. The substantial-looking weave and restrained contrast give this colourway a grounded, relaxed character suited to upholstery-led schemes.

How to use it

Use this muted olive-taupe colourway on an occasional chair, headboard or tailored sofa, where its softly weathered texture can sit comfortably beside warm timber and darker bronze accents. Balance the earthy depth with chalky neutrals, oatmeal and muted sage.

Pair the weathered olive-taupe weave with warm woods, aged metal and quiet natural tones for a grounded interior.

11897ST/B02 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.
