Leon Fabric

Carrera Stone is a softly muted stone taupe with a fine, even woven look and a dry cotton hand. The colour sits between warm grey and beige, giving the fabric a calm, grounded presence.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% cotton and measuring 140cm wide, this Leon fabric has no pattern repeat, so the surface reads as an uninterrupted, understated plain. In Carrera Stone, the colour is a quiet taupe with a slightly earthy warmth, softened by the small-scale weave visible in the cloth. That subtle texture keeps the shade from looking flat, while the low-key tone makes it easy to layer with timber, leather, linen and painted finishes. The care code is AQW1<, and the fabric’s balanced handle makes it suitable for both upholstery and drapery use.

How to use it

Use Carrera Stone on a tailored sofa, banquette or Roman blind where you want colour without contrast. Its stone-taupe note sits neatly alongside chalky neutrals, warm woods and deeper olive or charcoal accents.

A calm stone taupe that works beautifully across upholstery and curtains for a quiet, tailored finish.

Pairs well with

Carrera Stone 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.
