Carrera Wicker reads as a softly mottled taupe with a gentle warm undertone and a subtle woven sheen. The surface has a relaxed, lightly textured look that catches the light without appearing shiny.

About this fabric

This plain from the Carrera collection is made from 100% polyester and is specified for contract use, with a robust 80,000 martindale rating. In Wicker, the colour sits between beige and taupe, with a softly weathered, stone-like warmth that feels calm rather than sharp. The weave shows a fine, even texture across the surface, giving the cloth a discreet depth that works well on larger upholstered pieces. It is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, and professional clean in situ or washing at 40℃ is available as noted in the care instructions.

How to use it

Use this muted taupe to soften tailored seating, banquettes or headboards where you want a neutral that still feels considered. It pairs neatly with oak, warm whites and darker bronze accents, letting the subtle sheen do the work.

A versatile neutral for clean-lined upholstery and contract schemes.

Pairs well with

Carrera Wicker 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.
