About this fabric

The plain surface has a dense-looking, softly brushed texture rather than a visible motif or repeat. Light catches the raised folds, creating gentle tonal movement between coppery brown highlights and deep chocolate shadows. This substantial, tactile appearance makes the fabric particularly suited to upholstery. No performance features or further specification data are noted for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Lovely Umber on a statement armchair, sofa or headboard where its warm brown depth can anchor cream, aged brass and darker timber. Its changing nap will add subtle movement to a room without introducing a pattern.

A rich, tactile brown with a softly reflective nap that brings depth to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Lovely 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.
