About this fabric

As a wallpaper from Romo’s Etsu Wallcoverings collection, this colourway is defined by its small-scale, irregular pattern rather than a bold repeating motif. The Umber palette combines softened grey with brown-taupe depth, while lighter flecks and darker fragments give the surface a gently weathered appearance. The image shows a visually textured design with a restrained, quietly sophisticated character. No performance features are noted for this wallpaper.

How to use it

Use Umber to add warmth and tonal depth behind upholstered seating, joinery or a bed, particularly where a flat grey would feel too cool. Its low-contrast taupe-grey pattern works well with natural timber, stone and softly aged metals.

A softly weathered taupe-grey ground with fine, broken patterning for understated depth on walls.

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.
