Olympia Chalk

Olympia Chalk is a softly woven plain in a pale chalk cream that reads clean, warm and quietly textured. Its close weave gives the surface a subtle grain rather than a flat finish.

About this fabric

Part of the Olympia collection by J Brown, this plain fabric is woven in 100% polyester and specified for contract use. It carries a Martindale rating of 40,000, making it a practical choice where durability matters, and it is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852. The colour is a gentle chalk cream with a slightly warm undertone, so the weave shows as a fine speckled texture rather than a bright white. Professional dry clean in situ is recommended, with further care details available in the pattern book.

How to use it

Use Olympia Chalk to soften larger upholstered pieces, especially where you want a light neutral that still feels grounded. Its warm, chalky tone works well with pale oak, natural linen and deeper timber finishes.

A soft chalky neutral that lifts a scheme without feeling stark.

Pairs well with

Olympia Chalk 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.
