About this fabric

This 100% polyester chenille is 138cm wide and shows broad, irregular tonal variation rather than a defined repeating motif. The colour moves between warm greige, softened taupe and creamy stone, creating a muted, earthy appearance that changes subtly with the light. Fine chenille texture adds gentle surface lift, while the darker cloudy marks give the pale base more depth. It is suitable for contract and domestic upholstery, is machine washable, and has Domestic Cig & Match flame retardancy; it can be treated to Crib 5 contract grade.

How to use it

Pair this warm greige colourway with oatmeal, natural timber and brushed brass for a calm, layered scheme. Its taupe undertones also sit comfortably against deeper brown, charcoal or olive accents on upholstered seating and headboards.

Use this warm greige chenille to bring softly weathered depth to sofas, headboards and occasional upholstery.

Pairs well with

NUO2048 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.
