About this fabric

The closely packed chevrons form a regular herringbone, with olive threads interwoven with warm tan, cream and muted brown flecks. Under close view, the raised woven ridges give the pattern a tactile, lightly nubby surface rather than a flat printed appearance. This colourway reads as a softened, earthy olive: pale flecks lift the green while darker lines add depth and definition.

How to use it

Use this muted olive on a traditional armchair, dining chair or sofa where its compact herringbone can add texture without overwhelming the room. Bring out the warm tan flecks with timber, aged brass and natural neutral upholstery accents.

A dense olive herringbone with warm flecks, well suited to upholstered seating and earthy layered schemes.

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.
