Iron Ore

Name: Iron Ore
Brand: Cormar

Kingston in Iron Ore has a softly mottled warm-grey appearance, with fine charcoal and pale flecks distributed through its dense, textured pile. The close-up reads as a quiet, blended neutral rather than a flat solid shade.

About this fabric

This Cormar Kingston colourway is catalogued as Carpet and carries an Easy Clean specification. Iron Ore combines warm grey, charcoal and light stone fibres in a low-contrast, irregular texture that gives the surface subtle depth. Its dense pile catches the light softly, creating a gently varied finish without a visible motif or directional pattern.

How to use it

Use Iron Ore as a calm warm-grey foundation alongside pale oak, limestone tones and charcoal accents. Its softly blended flecking will sit comfortably with layered neutral furnishings without appearing stark.

Use this softly flecked warm grey with natural timber, chalky walls and layered neutrals.

Pairs well with

Iron Ore 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.
