Orkney Stone

Name: Orkney Stone
Brand: Isle Mill

Orkney Stone has a quiet stone-taupe ground with subtle grey-beige variation running through its raised bouclé surface. The close-up reveals an irregular, softly nubby texture rather than a printed motif.

About this fabric

The colour sits between warm grey and muted beige, giving the swatch a calm, mineral quality with gentle depth. Small looped fibres create a softly clouded surface, while faint vertical variation keeps the otherwise plain design from looking flat. Its substantial-looking woven texture reads as upholstery-oriented, particularly for relaxed seating and occasional pieces. No composition, width, rub test or performance features have been supplied for this colourway, so suitability should be confirmed against the intended application.

How to use it

Pair this muted stone taupe with chalky whites, oatmeal textiles and pale oak for a quiet, tactile scheme. Its grey-beige depth also works well beside darker walnut or charcoal accents without becoming stark.

Use this softly mottled stone taupe on relaxed upholstery, layered with natural linens and pale timber.

Pairs well with

Orkney 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.
