About this fabric

This Swaffer fabric is a closely woven textile with a small, even construction visible across the surface rather than a printed motif. The olive-green ground is subdued and natural, with lighter threads catching the light to create gentle tonal variation. Its compact woven texture gives the colour depth without making it appear glossy or highly formal. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use Ikema Thyme to bring a calm, earthy green to an upholstered chair, sofa or curtain scheme. Pair its muted olive tone with warm timber, natural linen and soft stone neutrals for a quietly layered room.

A softly textured thyme-olive weave that brings grounded colour to upholstery, curtains or coordinating cushions.

Pairs well with

Ikema Thyme 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.
