About this fabric

Odyssey Parchment from the Odyssey collection by J Brown is a 100% polyester plain designed for contract use, with a 50,000 Martindale rating. In this colourway, the fabric reads as a muted parchment cream with a faint beige warmth, giving it a soft, chalky look rather than a stark white finish. The surface has a restrained, lightly textured appearance that catches the light in a very subtle way, adding depth without introducing pattern. Supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, it is a practical option where a clean neutral is needed with performance credentials. Professional dry clean in situ is recommended, with further care guidance in the pattern book.

How to use it

Use this shade on streamlined sofas, banquettes or headboards where a calm light neutral will soften sharper lines. It pairs particularly well with timber, brushed metal and deeper accent colours because its warmth stops it feeling cold.

A quiet neutral that brings a clean, contract-ready finish to tailored seating and accessories.

Pairs well with

Odyssey Parchment 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.
