Alto FabricALT4222

ALT4222 reads as a softly mottled warm grey, with cream yarns and fine brown-grey accents breaking up its close, nubby surface. The chenille catches the light unevenly, giving the swatch a tactile, lightly dimensional finish.

About this fabric

Woven in chenille, ALT4222 is 138cm wide and composed of 84% polyester and 16% recycled cotton. Its warm grey ground is softened by creamy threads, while scattered darker flecks add gentle depth without forming a strong motif. The irregular, small-scale weave creates a tactile surface with a quietly textured appearance. Specified for domestic upholstery, it has machine-washable aftercare and Domestic Cig & Match flame retardancy.

How to use it

Use ALT4222 on an armchair, sofa or dining seat where its warm grey-and-cream mix can soften darker timber and complement off-white, taupe and brown accents. Its restrained flecked texture also works well as a calm counterpoint to more patterned cushions.

A softly mottled warm grey chenille suited to relaxed domestic upholstery and layered neutral schemes.

Pairs well with

ALT4222 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.
