Fresco is shown here in a deep brown shade with a cool taupe cast, giving the surface a darker, tailored look. The close weave reveals a fine diagonal rib that adds subtle texture without introducing a visible pattern.

About this fabric

Made from 100% polyester chenille, this 138cm-wide colourway has a closely woven surface with fine diagonal definition and a softly varied finish. Its deep brown tone sits between warm chocolate and muted charcoal-taupe, so the shade reads rich rather than bright. Fresco is rated for contract, domestic and outdoor upholstery, making this colourway suitable for seating exposed to varied interiors and uses. It is also machine washable, as specified for this fabric.

How to use it

Use the deep brown-taupe shade on a structured sofa, dining chair or upholstered bench, pairing it with pale stone, warm timber or brushed metal to keep the room balanced. Its restrained rib gives dark upholstery more surface interest without competing with patterned cushions or artwork.

A deep brown chenille with a fine ribbed surface, suited to tailored upholstery where a dark, quietly textured tone is wanted.

Pairs well with

FRE4433_2025-07-22-155210_TLKY 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.
