Icicle

Riva Carpet

Riva Icicle is a pale, cool-toned grey with a dense surface that looks softly cushioned in close view. Its subtle tonal variation gives the near-white shade a gentle, tactile depth.

About this carpet

Riva Icicle is catalogued as Carpet in the Soft Deep Pile category, and the swatch shows a dense, tactile surface rather than a flat weave. The near-white grey has a distinctly icy cast, with tiny darker flecks and irregular pile shadows keeping it from looking stark or completely uniform. Light catches the raised fibres unevenly, creating quiet depth across the softly mottled face. This restrained texture suits an understated upholstered setting where a pale, cool ground is preferred over a pronounced pattern.

How to use it

Use Icicle as a cool, pale-grey foundation in a calm room, pairing its soft deep pile with warm timber, ivory upholstery or muted taupe accents to prevent the shade feeling too stark.

Use Icicle to create a cool, pale-grey foundation, balancing its softly mottled pile with warmer timber or creamy textiles.

Pairs well with

Icicle 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.
