Siam Umber
Eclectic Fabric
The house has discontinued this one. We are keeping the page so the link still works, but we can no longer order it. There are alternatives below, and if you have a cutting or a photograph we will help you match it.
Siam Umber reads as a quiet, smoky brown across the swatch, with a darker ground and softly lifted botanical forms. The large leafy silhouettes are tonal rather than sharply contrasted, giving the pattern depth without brightness.

About this fabric
Siam Umber is a deep, muted brown with a slightly grey cast, rather than a warm reddish umber. Large branching stems and layered, elongated leaves form a low-contrast botanical repeat, with the motif emerging through a subtle change in surface and tone. No performance features are noted for this fabric.
How to use it
Use the smoky umber on a statement chair, headboard or full-length curtain where its subdued botanical pattern can add depth without overwhelming the room. Pair it with warm wood and softly contrasting neutral textiles to bring out the colour’s grey-brown character.
A smoky umber ground and tonal foliage bring quiet depth to upholstery or curtains.
Pairs well with
A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Siam Umber 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.
