Belvedere FabricBEL1987

BEL1987 is a muted denim-blue chenille with a softly mottled, almost brushed appearance. Its close-up texture shifts subtly between blue and blue-grey, giving the plain surface quiet depth rather than a flat block of colour.

About this fabric

The fine chenille texture creates a gently varied surface, with lighter threads catching across the cool denim-blue ground. There is no visible printed motif; the interest comes from the low-contrast tonal movement and softly tactile finish. Made from 100% polyester and supplied at 138cm wide, BEL1987 is graded for contract and domestic upholstery. It is machine washable and has Domestic Cig & Match flame retardancy, with the option to be treated to Crib 5 contract grade.

How to use it

Use this cool, muted blue on a sofa, armchair or dining seat where its softly mottled finish can add depth without introducing a strong pattern. Pair it with warm oak, chalky neutrals or blue-grey walls to balance its slightly steely tone.

A softly mottled denim blue that brings cool depth to upholstered seating while remaining easy to coordinate with neutrals and natural timber.

Pairs well with

BEL1987 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.
