About this fabric

The surface reads as smooth and softly lustrous, with the changing nap-like shading visible across the fabric’s gathered folds. Its lichen tone sits between mossy olive and warm grey, giving the colourway a subdued, earthy depth rather than a bright green cast. Darker creases create strong tonal movement, while raised areas catch a restrained, satin-like glow. No performance features or further specification data are supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Matador Lichen on a statement armchair, sofa or headboard in a room built around stone, aged timber and warm grey tones. Its muted olive depth pairs especially well with darker bronze or charcoal accents.

Use this softly shaded lichen olive on upholstered seating where its gentle sheen and deep folds can add quiet richness.

Matador Lichen 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.
