Oiseaux de Paradis Embroidery in Olivine has a muted olive-green ground that gives the dense bird-and-flower design a softly aged, painterly depth. Jewel-like red, turquoise and ochre details stand out against the subdued background.

About this fabric

The repeat is arranged with exotic birds, curling branches, stylised flowers and pointed botanical forms, creating a large-scale pattern with a distinctly ornamental presence. At 710gsm, this is a substantial fabric suited to upholstery, while its 33.8 threads per centimetre indicate a densely made textile. The usable width is 124.5cm, with a 79cm vertical repeat and 63cm horizontal repeat to consider when cutting patterned pieces. In this Olivine colourway, olive, moss and ochre tones soften the brighter scarlet, teal and blue accents, giving the design a warm, collected richness rather than a bright contemporary feel.

How to use it

Use Olivine on a statement armchair, sofa or dining chair where its muted olive ground can anchor a room of aged woods, warm neutrals and brass. Echo the scarlet and turquoise accents sparingly in cushions or painted details so the intricate repeat remains the focus.

Use this richly detailed olive ground to bring an antique, collected character to upholstered seating and occasional chairs.

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.
