Kheri Carpet

Kheri in Opal is a quiet, low-key textile with a muted taupe base and a subtle olive-grey cast. Its close, softly textured surface reads as even and unpatterned in the swatch.

About this fabric

The colour sits between warm stone and softened olive, with enough grey in the tone to keep it restrained rather than yellow or sandy. Fine, closely packed texture gives the surface a gently napped appearance, while the low pile catches the light unevenly across the swatch. No motif or repeat is visible, allowing the depth to come entirely from the softly varied surface. This fabric is catalogued as Carpet, and no further specification data has been supplied.

How to use it

Use Opal where an earthy, greyed taupe is wanted to soften timber, cream and chalky stone tones. Its subdued olive cast also sits comfortably alongside moss, khaki and aged brass accents.

Use this muted olive-taupe shade to bring soft, earthy depth to upholstered seating and layered neutral schemes.

Pairs well with

Opal 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.
