About this fabric

Part of the Palermo collection by J Brown, this plain fabric is woven in 100% polyester and is suitable for General Domestic use. It has a Martindale rating of 25,000, making it a practical choice for everyday interiors, while the back-coated fire rating to Cigarette & Match to BS5852 adds further specification support. In Marble, the colour sits between cream and ivory with a faintly warm cast, and the close weave gives the surface a soft, almost chalky appearance. The result is a quiet neutral that reflects light gently without looking glossy or flat.

How to use it

Use this pale Marble shade to soften larger upholstered pieces, or pair it with timber, linen and darker accent colours for contrast. It also suits relaxed curtains or blinds where you want a light, airy finish without a cold white effect.

A quietly elegant neutral that works on tailored upholstery or simple curtains.

Pairs well with

Palermo Marble 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.
