About this fabric

The small-scale weave is visibly dense and tactile, formed from closely interlaced threads that create a subtle mottled effect rather than a printed motif. This colourway leans cool and understated, with grey-green shading that keeps the olive tone soft rather than bright or yellow. Light catches the raised texture in tiny flecks across the surface, adding dimension without making the design look busy. No performance features or further specification data are supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Duo 253 to add a calm, grounded layer to a room with warm timber, stone, or softly contrasting neutrals. Its greyed olive tone works particularly well on relaxed upholstery, occasional chairs, cushions, curtains, or blinds where the close weave can be seen up close.

A muted olive woven texture that brings gentle depth to upholstery, cushions, curtains or blinds.

Pairs well with

Duo 253 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.
