Gemstone

Primo Ultra Carpet

Gemstone is a pale, warm-grey carpet with a softly mottled appearance rather than a flat, uniform colour. Its close-textured surface gives the swatch gentle depth while keeping the overall look light and quiet.

About this fabric

The colour sits between soft grey and subtle greige, with tiny tonal flecks that prevent the surface from appearing stark. Fine, closely packed texture is visible across the swatch, creating a restrained, tactile finish with no distinct motif. Gemstone is catalogued as Carpet within Cormar’s Primo Ultra collection and has an Easy Clean category. Its calm, lightly peppered appearance suits schemes where a pale neutral needs a little visual depth.

How to use it

Use this warm pale grey as a quiet foundation with chalky whites, natural oak and soft taupe upholstery. It also works well alongside cooler stone shades, where its gentle greige undertone adds warmth without becoming beige.

The softly flecked warm-grey surface brings a calm, understated finish to contemporary interiors.

Gemstone 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.
