GAR2199 is a quiet warm taupe-grey chenille with a close, softly nubby surface. Fine light and darker fibres break up the solid shade, giving the swatch a gently heathered depth rather than a flat block of colour.

About this fabric

This 100% polyester chenille has a close, tactile weave with fine vertical striations visible across the surface. Its warm stone-taupe ground is lifted by peppered lighter fibres, creating a softly mottled appearance that changes subtly as the pile catches the light. At 138cm wide, it is graded for Contract and Domestic upholstery. Aftercare is machine washable; flame retardancy is Domestic Cig & Match, with treatment available to Crib 5 contract grade.

How to use it

Use this warm taupe-grey on sofas, dining chairs or ottomans in rooms built around stone, timber and softened neutral shades. The lightly flecked chenille texture helps plain upholstery feel considered without introducing a strong pattern.

Use the softly heathered taupe on tailored seating, where its nubby chenille texture adds quiet depth to neutral schemes.

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.
