About this fabric

Catalogued as a Wool Twist carpet, Fossil has a compact, tactile texture formed from many small, closely set loops. Its beige base leans softly warm, with tiny darker and lighter fibres giving the surface gentle depth without making it look patterned. The even texture reads calm and grounded in the swatch, while the low-contrast variation helps disguise the uniformity of a flat solid. No performance features are noted for this colourway.

How to use it

Use Fossil as a warm neutral foundation alongside chalky whites, natural oak and muted olive accents. Its oatmeal tone also sits comfortably with linen, stone and other softly layered textures.

Its softly flecked oatmeal tone brings a warm, quietly textured foundation to neutral schemes.

Pairs well with

Fossil 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.
