About this fabric

This Bracken Beige colourway shows a tight herringbone weave with a subtle linear rhythm that is visible across the full swatch. Its warm beige tone feels gentle rather than yellow, with a slightly mottled depth from the 49% viscose, 35% cotton, 9% linen and 7% polyester composition. At approximately 138cm wide, it is a practical upholstery-and-drapery fabric, and the repeat is small at V 1cm / H 4cm approx, keeping the pattern calm at close range. The surface has a dry, natural look from the linen and cotton, softened by the viscose so it catches light without appearing shiny.

How to use it

Use it on a sofa, headboard or tailored curtains where you want a warm neutral with a little visual texture. It pairs especially well with oak, chalk white and muted olive accents.

A softly textured beige that works beautifully in calm, layered interiors.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Bracken Beige 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.
