About this fabric
The colour sits between warm grey and muted taupe, with a shaded, mineral quality rather than a bright or creamy cast. Its close plain weave creates a delicate grain that becomes more visible where the folds catch the light. The smooth drape shown here suggests a versatile mid-weight appearance suitable for both upholstery and drapery. No composition, width, rub-test or performance specification is supplied for this colourway.
How to use it
Pair Umbria Shale with chalky whites, mushroom neutrals and weathered timber for a calm, layered scheme. Its cool taupe-grey tone also works well as a quiet counterpoint to deeper charcoal, olive or rust accents.
Use this cool, understated taupe-grey weave to soften upholstery or drapery without introducing a visible pattern.

Pairs well with
Umbria 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.
