Ember

Riva Carpet

Ember presents a warm, weathered grey surface with a dense, softly irregular texture. Its subtle tonal variation gives the swatch a grounded, stone-like depth rather than a flat block of colour.

About this carpet

Ember is catalogued as Soft Deep Pile, and the photograph shows a densely textured surface rather than a printed motif. Its warm grey base is broken by tiny taupe and charcoal flecks, creating softly varied stone-grey depth across the swatch. The pile catches light unevenly, shifting from quieter mid-grey areas to slightly brighter textured highlights. As a carpet colourway, this restrained tonal movement keeps the finish grounded while preserving the tactile character visible here.

How to use it

Use Ember's warm stone-grey tone to anchor a calm, layered scheme with taupe, charcoal and natural wood accents. Its subtly flecked depth is especially suited to spaces where a quiet, tactile floor surface is preferred over a strong pattern.

The warm stone-grey depth brings a grounded, tactile feel to softly layered interiors.

Pairs well with

Ember 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.
