About this fabric

This plain velvet has no pattern repeat, allowing its colour and pile to remain the focus. In the image, the olive tone reads warm and subdued, with a green-gold cast that becomes lighter along the raised folds and deeper in the recessed areas. At 420 gsm and 144 cm usable width, it has the visual weight expected of an upholstery velvet. The fine construction is specified at 71 threads per centimetre, while the short, even pile gives the surface a quiet, dense texture.

How to use it

Use this olive colourway on a statement armchair, sofa or footstool where its mellow green depth can sit alongside walnut, aged brass, warm neutrals and darker earthy tones. Its directional sheen is especially effective on curved upholstery, where the folds reveal subtle shifts from khaki shadow to soft olive light.

A softly lustrous olive velvet whose directional pile brings depth and gentle tonal variation to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Cotton Velvet Performance Olive 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.
