Carrera Dove is a quietly refined plain weave in a cool dove taupe shade. The surface reads soft and matte, with a subtle cross-thread texture that gives the colour gentle depth.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% cotton, Carrera Dove has a natural handle and a clean, uncomplicated appearance. The 140cm width and 0cm pattern repeat make it straightforward to cut and use for a range of interior projects. Visually, the colour sits in a muted grey-brown family, with a cool undertone that keeps it feeling crisp rather than heavy. The fine woven texture catches the light just enough to stop the surface from looking flat, while the overall effect remains calm and understated. Care is listed as AQW1<.

How to use it

Use this restrained taupe-grey on tailored sofas, headboards, or simple Roman blinds where you want a neutral that still feels considered. It pairs especially well with pale oak, chalky whites, and deeper charcoal accents.

A calm neutral that works across tailored upholstery and relaxed curtains.

Pairs well with

Carrera Dove 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.
