Carrera Parchment is a softly gleaming plain in a warm parchment beige, with a subtle textured surface that keeps the colour feeling lifted rather than flat. Its gentle tonal movement gives the swatch a quiet, tailored look.

About this fabric

This colourway reads as a warm beige with pale biscuit and stone undertones, finished with a faint sheen that catches the light across the weave. The plain design style keeps the surface clean and versatile, while the visible texture adds just enough depth to stop the shade feeling one-note. Made in 100% polyester and specified for contract use, it offers a practical 80,000 Martindale rating for hard-working schemes. It is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, and after care includes professional clean in situ or washable at 40℃, subject to the pattern book guidance.

How to use it

Use Parchment on banquettes, dining chairs or low-arm seating where you want a light neutral with a polished, contract-friendly finish. It pairs neatly with timber, taupe, and warm off-whites for a calm, cohesive palette.

A softly tonal neutral that brings a calm, tailored finish to contract seating.

Pairs well with

Carrera Parchment 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.
