About this fabric

Made from 100% polyester, this 138cm-wide chenille is specified for both contract and domestic upholstery. The dense surface appears gently flecked rather than patterned, giving the near-black brown tone quiet visual depth. CAP4473 is machine washable and carries Domestic Cig & Match GreenFRĀ® flame retardancy. Its substantial chenille handle and low-key colour make it suited to upholstered furniture where a composed, darker finish is wanted.

How to use it

Use this deep charcoal-brown on a sofa, headboard or dining chair to anchor a room with a warm, shadowed tone. Pair it with pale timber, chalky neutrals or soft taupes to bring out the subtle brown cast rather than making the upholstery feel stark black.

The deep charcoal-brown chenille brings understated depth to sofas, dining chairs and occasional upholstery.

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.
