FIN2820 presents a muted olive-taupe shade with a softly mottled, closely woven chenille surface. Its understated tonal variation gives the plain colourway gentle depth rather than a flat appearance.

About this fabric

Made from 85% polyester and 15% viscose, FIN2820 is a 138cm-wide chenille intended for contract and domestic upholstery. The woven face combines olive, taupe and subdued grey-brown notes, creating a cool, earthy colour that changes subtly as the light moves across the texture. Its fine, even surface keeps the colourway visually calm while the small woven irregularities prevent it from looking stark or uniform. Aftercare is machine washable; the fabric is rated for domestic Cig & Match and can be treated to Crib 5 contract grade.

How to use it

Use this muted olive-taupe on a sofa, armchair or dining seat where its quiet earthy tone can sit comfortably alongside warm timber, stone, cream upholstery and aged brass. The restrained texture also works well as a grounding plain against more patterned cushions or curtains.

A quietly mottled olive-taupe chenille with a refined woven surface for upholstered furniture.

FIN2820 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.
