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.

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.
