Bracken Pearl

Olney FabricF4932-03

Bracken Pearl is a softly luminous neutral with a fine herringbone-like weave and a restrained, almost chalky pearl-beige finish. The small-scale pattern reads quietly across the surface, giving the cloth a tailored but gentle character.

About this fabric

This colourway has a warm pearl-beige ground with subtle oatmeal and linen notes, lifted by a delicate diagonal weave that creates a neat, small-scale herringbone effect. The cloth is composed of 49% viscose, 35% cotton, 9% linen and 7% polyester, which helps explain its softly textured, lightly lustrous appearance. At approximately 138cm wide, it is a practical furnishing cloth for rooms that need a calm neutral with a little surface movement. The repeat is approximately V 1cm / H 4cm, so the pattern stays understated and easy to live with. With no performance features noted and a fire code of √BM, it sits comfortably in an interior-focused upholstery or drapery scheme.

How to use it

Use Bracken Pearl on a sofa, bench or scatter cushions where the pale beige tone can catch natural light without feeling stark. It also suits relaxed curtains or blinds, especially alongside oak, limestone and warm off-whites.

A quietly refined neutral that works beautifully across upholstery and curtains.

Pairs well with

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