Smokestack

Apollo Plus Carpet

Smokestack is a softly mottled taupe-grey carpet with a dense, close-textured surface. Its quiet tonal variation gives the neutral shade subtle depth without introducing a strong pattern.

About this fabric

The image shows a compact, short-pile surface built from warm grey, taupe and pale stone flecks. The fine texture catches the light unevenly, creating a gently grainy appearance rather than a flat block colour. Catalogued as Carpet, Smokestack is listed as Easy Clean for practical everyday use. The restrained colour and small-scale texture give this colourway a composed, understated character.

How to use it

Pair Smokestack’s warm taupe-grey tone with chalky whites, natural oak and muted olive for a calm, layered room. Its subtle flecking can also sit comfortably beneath stronger patterned furnishings.

Use this softly mottled taupe-grey as a quiet, adaptable foundation for contemporary upholstery schemes.

Pairs well with

Smokestack 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.
