Carrera Mist is a softly mottled taupe plain with a cool, misted look and a gentle sheen across the surface. The close-up weave reads smooth and restrained, with fine horizontal texture catching the light.

About this fabric

Part of the Carrera collection by J Brown, this plain fabric is made from 100% polyester and is specified for contract use. It has a strong 80,000 Martindale rating and is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, with other treatments available on request. In the swatch, Carrera Mist appears as a muted taupe-grey with a subtle pearly cast, and the surface shows faint horizontal striations that soften the overall finish. The colour feels cool rather than warm, making it an easy neutral for schemes that need depth without heaviness. Professional clean in situ or washable at 40℃, please refer to the pattern book for further care instructions.

How to use it

Use Carrera Mist on an armchair, banquette, or upholstered headboard where its calm taupe tone will sit quietly beside timber, stone, or charcoal accents. Its misty surface also works well in contract interiors that need a smart neutral with a softly reflective finish.

A quiet neutral that brings a refined, low-sheen finish to tailored seating.

Pairs well with

Carrera Mist 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.
