-
Black & white speckled
Inky black speckle on a bright white hide, also known as salt and pepper. From bold splashes to a fine speckle that reads as soft grey, it is crisp on pale tiles and dark wood floors alike.

Choosing the right hide
- Measure the space: a hide should frame the front legs of your sofa or sit centred under a coffee table.
- Light floors suit darker hides; dark floors make white and speckled hides glow.
- AA grade means a full, even coat with clean edges and no visible marks.
- Not sure? Book a home viewing in Cape Town and see a selection on your own floor.
