Jacaranda

Starlight

Santushti Carpet

Starlight has a softly mottled taupe appearance, with light and mid-tone threads creating a gently weathered surface. Its close, tactile texture gives the colourway quiet depth rather than a flat block of colour.

About this fabric

Catalogued as a Carpet, Starlight is shown here as a dense, nubby textile with fine horizontal ridges and irregular tonal movement across the surface. The colour sits between warm taupe, mushroom and soft stone, with paler threads catching the light against slightly deeper taupe bands. Subtle variations in the weave create a relaxed, tactile look without a distinct printed motif. Its visual weight and compact texture make it particularly suited to upholstery-led schemes.

How to use it

Use Starlight on a generously upholstered chair, headboard or sofa where its warm mushroom-taupe tone can soften deeper timber and textured neutrals. Balance it with ivory, oatmeal and brushed metal for a calm, layered interior.

Pair this softly mottled taupe with warm timber, natural stone and tactile upholstery for a quietly layered room.

Starlight 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.
