Carrera Sand

Carrera Fabric13560

Carrera Sand is a softly warmed neutral with a low-contrast, lightly slubbed surface that reads calm and understated. The pale beige tone catches the light with a faint sheen, giving the plain a gentle depth rather than a flat finish.

About this fabric

This colourway sits in a soft sandy beige family, with subtle tonal shifts that bring out the woven texture across the face of the fabric. Made from 100% polyester and supplied for contract use, it offers a practical 80,000 Martindale rub test and a back-coated finish to Cigarette & Match to BS5852. The surface looks neatly textured rather than heavily patterned, which keeps the plain visually quiet while still adding interest. It can be professional cleaned in situ or washed at 40℃, with further care guidance available in the pattern book.

How to use it

Use Carrera Sand where you want a warm, light neutral that won’t overpower upholstery shapes or tailored curtains. Its sandy tone works especially well with oak, limestone, and muted green accents, keeping a room airy but grounded.

A warm neutral with a gently slubbed surface that layers easily into calm, contract-ready schemes.

Pairs well with

Carrera Sand 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.
