Bracken Sienna shows a fine herringbone-like texture in a warm, sunbaked beige with softly variegated depth. The surface reads dry and tactile rather than glossy, giving the colourway an easy, tailored feel.

About this fabric

This Olney fabric from Colefax and Fowler has a 138cm approximate width and is composed of 49% viscose, 35% cotton, 9% linen and 7% polyester. The weave creates a small-scale chevron effect that settles into a warm sienna-beige ground, with lighter yarns catching the light and darker threads adding a gentle, mottled depth. The overall effect is grounded and natural, but still polished enough for considered interiors. With no performance features noted, it is best chosen for rooms where the emphasis is on texture and tone rather than hardwearing utility.

How to use it

Use this warm neutral with oak, walnut and aged brass to bring out its earthy sienna cast. It also softens crisp linen or chalky wall colours, letting the subtle zigzag weave provide interest without feeling busy.

A warm neutral with quiet texture that works beautifully across tailored upholstery and elegant curtains.

Pairs well with

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