About this fabric
The close-up shows an even plain ground with a minute, softly pebbled weave and no visible motif. Its mid-to-dark taupe tone has a restrained grey cast, giving the surface a calm, grounded character. The low-contrast texture catches the light gently, creating subtle depth without introducing a strong pattern. No composition, width or performance specification has been supplied for this fabric.
How to use it
Use Marlborough Shale to bring a cool mushroom-taupe note to an upholstered chair, sofa or full-length curtain, pairing it with chalky neutrals, weathered timber and deeper brown accents.
A quietly sophisticated taupe with a fine tactile surface for tonal upholstery, curtains or coordinated schemes.

Pairs well with
Marlborough Shale 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.
