Aerial Fern

Name: Aerial Fern
Brand: Kirkby Design

Aerial Fern brings a crisp, close-set pattern to a warm cream ground, with olive, ochre and muted mustard marks creating a lively fern-like impression. Its pale background keeps the dense design feeling bright rather than heavy.

About this fabric

Small angular fragments are scattered across the cream ground in varied olive, ochre and mustard tones, forming an abstract botanical effect rather than a literal fern motif. The compact all-over repeat has a distinctly graphic character, with the darker olive marks giving the colourway depth against the light background. The matte-looking surface shown here keeps the colour palette softly natural and avoids a glossy finish. No composition, width, rub-test or performance specification is supplied for this exact fabric, so these details should be confirmed before ordering.

How to use it

Pair this olive-and-cream colourway with warm ivory, natural timber and restrained mustard accents for a fresh, graphic scheme. Its small-scale scatter can add pattern to a chair, blind or cushion without overwhelming the room.

Use the lively olive and ochre scatter to bring graphic energy to neutral upholstery, cushions or curtains.

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