About this fabric

Catalogued as a Carpet, Abalone has the close, compact-looking pile visible across the swatch. Its pale warm greige tone leans softly toward beige and taupe, with no contrasting pattern to interrupt the surface. Fine tonal flecks and slight shifts in the nap keep the light from reading flat, giving this colourway a quiet, gently mottled depth.

How to use it

Use Abalone to bring a warm, understated softness to upholstery, pairing its pale greige tone with chalky whites, natural timber and muted taupe accents. Its plain surface works particularly well where texture is preferred over pattern.

A pale warm greige base with subtle pile variation, suited to calm, softly textured upholstery schemes.

Pairs well with

Abalone 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.
