About this fabric

Made from 100% polyester, this chenille has a compact nubby texture that gives the charcoal colour quiet depth rather than a flat, solid appearance. The near-black shade reads cool and understated, with tiny tonal flecks visible across the surface. At 138cm wide, it is specified for both contract and domestic upholstery. The fabric is machine washable and has Domestic Cig & Match flame retardancy, with the option to be treated to Crib 5 contract grade.

How to use it

Use this deep charcoal colourway to give a sofa, armchair or headboard a grounded contemporary look. Its softly varied black tone pairs particularly well with pale woods, concrete greys and warm metallic accents.

A near-black charcoal chenille with subtle tonal depth for contemporary sofas, chairs and headboards.

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.
