About this fabric

Woven from 84% polyester and 16% recycled cotton, this 138cm-wide chenille has a compact, tactile construction suited to domestic upholstery. The olive taupe ground is interspersed with darker charcoal-brown threads, giving the surface visible depth rather than a flat, uniform colour. Its close weave and softly nubby texture read as relaxed and substantial on seating. ALT4228 is machine washable and carries Domestic Cig & Match flame retardancy.

How to use it

Use this muted olive taupe on a sofa, armchair or dining seat where its earthy depth can sit comfortably alongside warm timber, aged leather and charcoal accents. The subtle brown-grey variation also works well with natural linens and softened neutral walls.

A deeply textured muted olive chenille that brings earthy depth to domestic upholstery.

Pairs well with

ALT4228 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.
