Persian Doll

Apollo Plus Carpet

Persian Doll presents as a quiet taupe-grey carpet with a densely textured, close-cut surface. Fine cream, grey and brown flecks mingle across the swatch, giving the colourway a softly mottled appearance rather than a flat block of colour.

About this fabric

The compact pile is visibly plush and granular, with small loops or tufts catching the light at slightly different angles. Its neutral taupe-grey tone sits between warm stone and muted mushroom, while the scattered lighter flecks add gentle depth without creating a pronounced pattern. Catalogued as Carpet, Persian Doll is listed in the Easy Clean category. The low-contrast surface keeps the overall look relaxed and understated.

How to use it

Use this muted taupe-grey colourway to ground bedrooms, lounges or circulation spaces where a softly flecked floor can sit quietly with warm whites, putty tones and natural timber. Its subtle tonal variation is especially suited to schemes that need texture without a strong motif.

A softly mottled taupe-grey ground with subtle tonal depth for calm, practical interiors.

Pairs well with

Persian Doll 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.
