Shortbread

Apollo Plus Carpet

Shortbread has a warm biscuit-beige tone, shown here with a finely mottled surface that gives the otherwise plain colour gentle depth. Its compact, soft-looking pile reads as calm and quietly tactile.

About this fabric

This Apollo Plus colourway is a pale, warm beige with subtle cream and taupe flecking across the close-textured surface. The dense, even pile catches the light softly rather than creating a pronounced sheen, keeping the overall look understated. It is catalogued as Carpet and listed in the Easy Clean category. The small-scale texture adds definition without introducing a visible motif or strong contrast.

How to use it

Use Shortbread where a room needs a gentle biscuit warmth rather than a cool neutral; it will sit naturally alongside ivory, oatmeal, light timber and muted taupe upholstery. Its softly flecked surface can also add quiet texture to a simple, relaxed scheme.

Use this softly flecked biscuit-beige tone to bring quiet warmth and texture to relaxed upholstered pieces.

Pairs well with

Shortbread 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.
