Mother of Pearl

Sensation Carpet

Mother of Pearl brings together a warm taupe-beige tone and a softly irregular surface, visible in the close-up as a field of tiny pale and darker flecks. Its deep pile gives the colour a gently cushioned, tactile appearance.

About this fabric

Catalogued as a Carpet in the Sensation collection, Mother of Pearl has a Soft Deep Pile that reads clearly across the swatch. The warm beige-taupe ground is muted rather than stark, with closely packed flecks creating a softly mottled texture instead of a defined motif. Light catches the raised fibres unevenly, adding quiet variation across the otherwise calm colourway. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this warm taupe-beige colourway where a room needs a soft, grounded neutral with visible texture rather than a flat block of colour. Its relaxed deep-pile character pairs naturally with similarly tactile upholstery and understated natural tones.

A warm, softly flecked taupe-beige with a deep, tactile pile that brings gentle depth to upholstered pieces.

Pairs well with

Mother of Pearl 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.
