About this fabric
The swatch shows a plain weave in a restrained putty taupe, balanced between warm grey and soft beige rather than strongly leaning either way. Fine horizontal and vertical threads create a subtle textile grain, visible without introducing a distinct motif or pattern. The low-contrast surface gives the colour gentle depth as the light moves across it, while keeping the overall impression smooth and composed. No performance features or further specification data are supplied for this fabric.
How to use it
Use Shai Putty to bring a quiet, warm-grey foundation to an upholstered chair, sofa or headboard, or choose it for relaxed curtains where its fine weave can read softly in daylight. Pair it with chalky whites, natural timber and deeper taupe accents to bring out its muted warmth.
A quietly refined putty taupe with a subtle woven texture for calm upholstery or softly tailored drapery.

Pairs well with
Shai Putty 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.
