About this fabric

This textile reads as a quiet, grounded olive with a warm taupe cast rather than a bright or strongly green shade. A fine, peppered texture is visible across the face, creating a soft matte effect and restrained tonal variation. Its plain appearance makes the colour and surface grain the defining features of this colourway. No performance features are noted in the supplied information.

How to use it

Use this olive-taupe colourway to bring a calm, earthy note to an upholstered chair, sofa or relaxed curtain scheme. Pair it with warm timber, stone and softly contrasting cream tones to draw out its brown undertone.

A subdued olive-taupe textile with a fine, matte-mottled surface for quietly layered upholstery or drapery.

Pairs well with

7974/X2005 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.
