Melbury Shingle

Carnival FabricPF50440.915

Melbury Shingle has a softly mottled warm taupe surface, with fine tonal variation visible across its closely woven face. Its understated colour reads as a gentle stone shade rather than a flat beige.

About this fabric

This plain woven fabric combines 70% polyester with 30% viscose and is specified for fixed upholstery. The 140 cm (55") width is suited to upholstered seating, while the fine weave gives the surface a subtle textile grain and softly matte appearance. Care instructions specify a cool machine wash as the minimum wash, professional dry cleaning, no tumble drying, no bleaching and a cool iron.

How to use it

Use this warm stone-taupe colourway to upholster a sofa, dining chair or headboard where its quiet tonal texture can soften stronger wood, cream or earthy accents. It also works well as a calm neutral against deeper brown, olive or charcoal furnishings.

A softly textured warm taupe upholstery with a quiet, versatile presence on fixed seating.

Pairs well with

Melbury Shingle 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.
