Arabesque Silk Pale Olive pairs a muted, cool olive-green ground with an intricate ivory damask drawn in scrolling foliage, floral medallions and urn-like details. The restrained contrast lets the fine ornament read clearly without making the colourway feel stark.

About this fabric

The repeating design combines large floral wreaths, curling acanthus-style leaves, stylised urns and smaller floral ornaments in a soft ivory against the pale olive background. Its 93cm vertical repeat and 68cm horizontal repeat create a generous, formal layout suited to showing the full arrangement across a furnishing or window treatment. At 173gsm, with 399 threads per centimetre, the fabric has a relatively light woven handle that works for both upholstery accents and drapery. The 136cm usable width and 50m standard length provide practical coverage for coordinated interior schemes.

How to use it

Use this pale olive colourway with warm ivory, chalky stone and aged timber to soften a traditional room, or set it against darker olive accents for greater depth. On curtains, the large damask repeat can be allowed to fall uninterrupted; on a chair or cushion, select a central floral medallion for a more decorative finish.

Use the muted olive ground to bring a soft, heritage character to curtains, cushions or occasional upholstery.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Arabesque Silk Pale Olive without fighting it. 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.
