Sand Pumice

Rock Fabric

Sand Pumice has a quiet, mineral character, combining warm taupe-grey tones with a tightly textured woven surface. The close-up reveals subtle tonal variation rather than a printed motif.

About this fabric

This Kirkby Design fabric shows a compact, fine-grained weave made from closely packed dark and pale threads. Its sand-coloured base is softened by pumice-grey flecks, giving the surface a gently mottled, stone-like appearance. The even texture reads as substantial and upholstery-friendly from the swatch image, while the restrained colouring keeps the overall effect smart rather than rustic. Light catches the raised weave in small points, adding depth without creating shine.

How to use it

Use Sand Pumice on an upholstered sofa, headboard or occasional chair where its warm taupe-grey tone can sit comfortably alongside natural oak, limestone shades and soft brown accents. Keep surrounding fabrics lightly textured and tonal to highlight its mineral surface.

Pair this softly mottled taupe-grey with warm timber, chalky neutrals and understated upholstery shapes.

Pairs well with

Sand Pumice 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.
