About this fabric

The swatch is a quiet umber taupe, sitting between warm grey and softened brown rather than reading as a deep chocolate brown. Its surface is visibly plain, with a fine crosshatched weave and subtle tonal variation that gives the otherwise even field a gently mottled finish. In this darker neutral, the closely spaced threads catch the light softly, creating depth without a pattern or sheen.

How to use it

Use Linara Umber to temper pale stone, cream or warm grey schemes, or pair it with darker timber and earthy accents for a grounded room. Its muted brown-grey tone is especially suited to broad upholstered forms and softly coordinated window treatments.

Use the warm umber-taupe neutral to bring soft, earthy depth to upholstery, curtains or tonal layering.

Pairs well with

Linara Umber 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.
