Calathea Olive is a densely layered botanical wallpaper on a warm ivory ground, with broad tropical leaves picked out in muted olive, pale green and occasional pink. The olive tones read softly rather than brightly, giving the foliage a settled, natural depth.

About this fabric

The design combines striped, veined and fenestrated leaves, creating a varied surface of olive greens against the light ground. Small areas of dusty pink appear between the foliage, adding a restrained warm accent to the otherwise earthy palette. This wallpaper has a 68.6 cm usable width and a 76.2 cm vertical pattern repeat, with no horizontal repeat listed. Supplied at 153 gsm in a standard 10.05 m length, it is suited to planning a continuous leafy wall treatment around the stated repeat.

How to use it

Use Calathea Olive across a feature wall in a room with warm ivory paint, olive upholstery or natural timber. Echo the subdued pink details with a small accessory rather than a dominant block of colour, so the layered foliage remains the focus.

Use this softly contrasted olive botanical on a feature wall to bring layered foliage and restrained pink accents into an ivory-led scheme.

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