Etch Lichen is a subdued lichen shade with a distinctly olive-grey cast, shown here in a close, finely ribbed weave. Its narrow vertical texture gives the otherwise quiet surface gentle direction and depth.

About this fabric

The colour sits between weathered olive, taupe and charcoal, creating a cool, earthy impression rather than a fresh or yellow green. Fine vertical strié lines run consistently across the cloth, catching the light in delicate tonal shifts. The restrained surface and low-contrast colour make this a composed drapery fabric for schemes that favour texture over pattern.

How to use it

Use Etch Lichen at a window where its muted olive-grey tone can sit alongside stone, mushroom and charcoal furnishings. Pair it with natural timber and brushed metal to bring out the cloth’s quiet, weathered character.

Use this restrained olive-grey shade for softly tailored curtains or blinds with tonal furnishings.

Etch 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.
