ELB3540 is a softly blended blue-grey chenille with a fine, nubby weave that gives the surface gentle visual movement. Its cool, pale tone is lightened by subtle cream and grey flecks across the cloth.

About this fabric

The close textured construction has a compact, tactile appearance, while the interwoven flecks prevent the blue-grey ground from looking flat. At 138cm wide, this chenille is suitable for contract and domestic upholstery. It is machine washable and has Domestic Cig & Match GreenFR® flame retardancy, with the option to be treated to contract grade. The restrained colour and small-scale weave give the fabric a relaxed, quietly contemporary character.

How to use it

Use this cool blue-grey on a sofa, armchair or dining seat where its softly mottled surface can add texture without introducing a strong pattern. Pair it with chalky whites, pale timber and muted blue accessories for a calm, airy scheme.

A softly flecked blue-grey chenille for comfortable, hardworking seating in both classic and contemporary rooms.

ELB3540 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.
