About this fabric

The colour reads as a warm, restrained taupe, sitting between oatmeal and soft grey rather than presenting as a strong beige. A tiny, irregular fleck is visible throughout the close weave, giving the otherwise plain surface subtle depth without a defined motif. The fabric forms clean, weighty folds in the image, suggesting a versatile cloth for both upholstery and drapery. It is catalogued as a fabric, with no performance features or further specification data supplied.

How to use it

Use Melton Balm to soften a room with stone, chalk and weathered timber, or pair its mushroom tone with deeper olive and charcoal accents for more contrast. Its quiet surface would work particularly well on a relaxed upholstered chair or full-length curtains.

A quiet mushroom-taupe ground with a fine flecked weave, suited to softly layered upholstery and window treatments.

Pairs well with

Melton Balm 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.
