Dolphin is a cool pebble-grey colourway with a dense, softly textured surface. The close-up reveals fine tonal variation throughout the Soft Deep Pile, giving the shade gentle depth rather than a flat grey appearance.

About this fabric

Catalogued as Carpet in the Soft Deep Pile category, Dolphin has a compact, tactile surface that reads as substantial in the swatch. Its cool grey ground is softened by tiny lighter and darker fibres, creating a naturally mottled finish. The restrained texture adds visual interest without introducing a distinct motif or strong pattern. This is a quietly understated colourway, suited to schemes that need depth while keeping the overall palette calm.

How to use it

Pair Dolphin’s cool pebble-grey tone with chalky whites, pale timber and blue-grey accents for a relaxed, tonal interior. Its dense textured surface can also balance smoother painted or upholstered finishes without adding a bold visual pattern.

Use this cool, softly flecked grey to add quiet texture and depth to an understated scheme.

Dolphin 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.
