About this fabric

The surface combines cool grey with warmer taupe and brown notes, giving this colourway a subdued, earthy depth. Its small-scale tonal variation is visible across the swatch, while the short, dense texture catches the light in tiny changes from lighter stone to deeper smoke. City Smoke is listed in the Apollo Plus collection as an Easy Clean carpet, making that supplied feature part of its specification. The restrained colouring keeps the overall impression calm and relaxed.

How to use it

Use City Smoke as a grounding taupe-grey base with oatmeal upholstery, chalky walls or dark timber; its warm flecks help bridge cooler greys and natural beige tones. The low-contrast texture works particularly well where a plain neutral would feel too stark.

A softly mottled taupe-grey surface with enough tonal variation to sit comfortably alongside warm neutrals and natural timber.

Pairs well with

City Smoke 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.
