Brooke Plain Oatmeal has a warm, pale oatmeal tone with a fine, understated horizontal texture visible across the cloth. Its softly irregular surface gives the plain design gentle depth without introducing a distinct motif.

About this fabric

Woven from 51% viscose, 24% linen, 18% cotton and 7% polyester, this 140 cm-wide fabric combines a natural-looking surface with a subtly fluid appearance. The light oatmeal shade reads warm and calming, while the fine horizontal slubs catch the light just enough to prevent the neutral ground from feeling flat. Suitable for curtains, loose upholstery, fixed upholstery and bedspreads, it has a 28,000 Martindale rub test for practical everyday use. Care is professional dry cleaning only: do not wash, bleach or iron.

How to use it

Use the warm oatmeal tone to soften a tailored armchair, relaxed sofa or upholstered bed, then repeat it in full-length curtains for a calm, continuous scheme. It pairs especially well with chalky whites, pale timber and muted natural textures.

A quietly textured oatmeal neutral for relaxed upholstery, curtains and layered bedroom schemes.

Brooke Plain Oatmeal 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.
