Carrera Porcelain

Leon Fabric

Carrera Porcelain is shown here in a cool slate grey that reads calm and pared-back, with a fine cotton surface and a softly matte finish. The close, plain appearance gives it a restrained, tailored look rather than a decorative one.

About this fabric

This colourway in Porter & Stone’s Leon collection is made from 100% cotton and comes 140cm wide, with a 0cm pattern repeat and care instructions AQW1<. In the image, the shade sits between charcoal and stone-grey, with a slight blue cast that keeps it feeling crisp rather than warm. The weave is fine and even, so the surface catches the light subtly without obvious texture or pile. Its plain, low-key appearance makes it an easy coordinate for both upholstered pieces and relaxed window treatments.

How to use it

Use this cool slate tone to ground pale neutrals, pale oak, and white-painted joinery, or to add depth beside brushed metal and glass. It works especially well where you want a quiet, architectural finish rather than a strong colour statement.

A clean cool grey cotton that works neatly across upholstery and soft furnishing schemes.

Pairs well with

Carrera Porcelain 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.
