Bracken Blue

Bracken Blue is a softly mottled blue with a calm, weathered look and a fine woven texture visible across the surface. The colour sits between blue and grey, giving the fabric a restrained, lived-in feel rather than a bright or polished finish.

About this fabric
This Bracken Blue colourway from the Olney collection by Colefax and Fowler is a versatile fabric at approximately 138cm wide, with a repeat of V 1cm / H 4cm approx. Its 49% viscose, 35% cotton, 9% linen and 7% polyester composition helps create the dry, lightly irregular weave visible in the swatch, where the blue reads cool and softly muted. The small-scale texture and subtle cross-grain movement give the surface depth without a strong motif, so the effect stays understated from a distance and more tactile up close. With no performance features noted, it is best appreciated for its natural-looking, softly faded appearance rather than any high-shine finish.
How to use it
Use this blue on tailored sofas, occasional chairs or simple curtains where a calm, understated colour is needed. It works especially well with pale oak, chalky whites and stone greys, letting the muted blue tone stay cool and easy.
A quietly textured blue that feels easy and versatile across both upholstery and drapery.

Bracken Blue 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.
