Aluminium

Apollo Plus Carpet

Aluminium is a cool silver-grey carpet with a quiet, softly mottled surface. Its even tone shifts gently between pale silver and mid-grey across the pile, creating subtle depth without a visible pattern.

About this fabric

The Aluminium colourway has a cool, muted grey character rather than a warm or beige cast. A dense, short textured pile gives the surface a fine granular appearance, with small variations catching the light across the swatch. There is no distinct motif, allowing the understated silver-grey shade and tactile finish to remain the focus. This Apollo Plus carpet is listed with an Easy Clean specification.

How to use it

Use Aluminium to establish a calm, cool foundation alongside white, charcoal or pale timber finishes. Its soft silver-grey tone also works well with muted blue accents where a restrained, contemporary scheme is wanted.

The cool silver-grey tone and softly textured surface bring a calm, understated finish to contemporary interiors.

Aluminium 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.
