Stepping Stone

Apollo Plus Carpet

Stepping Stone is a warm taupe-beige carpet with a closely textured surface that shifts gently between sandy beige and deeper brown flecks. Its softly mottled appearance gives the colourway a calm, grounded depth rather than a flat, uniform finish.

About this carpet

The dense, small-scale texture is visible across the swatch as tightly packed fibres in a muted taupe-beige blend. Subtle darker flecks interrupt the warm base, creating a softly heathered effect that disguises visual variation without introducing a distinct pattern. As part of Cormar’s Apollo Plus collection, this carpet is classified as Easy Clean, making its understated texture particularly practical for everyday interiors.

How to use it

Use Stepping Stone to build a warm neutral scheme with oatmeal upholstery, natural timber and soft ivory walls. Its brown-leaning taupe tone also works well with clay, olive and other muted earthy accents.

A warm, softly flecked taupe-beige carpet that brings quiet texture and an easy, grounded feel to a room.

Pairs well with

Stepping Stone 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.
