Skyline Steel

Apollo Elite Carpet

Skyline Steel reads as a muted taupe-grey carpet with a gentle brown warmth. The close-up shows an even, finely flecked surface rather than a printed pattern, giving the colour quiet depth.

About this fabric

The image shows a quiet taupe-grey field with a warm brown cast, rather than a blue steel grey. Its close, granular surface is evenly mottled, with tiny tonal flecks that soften the otherwise plain face and catch the light without a directional motif. As an Easy Clean carpet, Skyline Steel offers a practical neutral ground while retaining a softly textured appearance.

How to use it

Pair this warm, brown-tinged taupe grey with chalky creams, oatmeal upholstery and pale natural timber for a grounded scheme. It can also balance cooler stone shades without making the room feel stark.

Use this warm taupe-grey neutral to create a calm, understated foundation alongside natural woods and soft creams.

Skyline Steel 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.
