About this fabric

Made from 100% polyester, this 138cm-wide chenille has a dense surface with subtle tonal shifts that move between charcoal and near-black. The restrained, irregular shading gives the plain ground visual depth without introducing a distinct motif. NUO2068 is graded for both contract and domestic upholstery, making it suitable for seating applications where a dark, textural finish is wanted. It is machine washable, and its domestic Cig & Match flame retardancy can be treated to Crib 5 contract grade.

How to use it

Use this deep charcoal colourway on a tailored sofa, dining chair or statement armchair, pairing it with pale timber, brushed metal or warm neutral walls to draw out its soft grey variation. Its near-black depth also works well as an anchoring upholstery tone in contemporary rooms.

A deep charcoal chenille with subtle tonal movement, suited to tailored upholstery and contemporary darker 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.
