About this fabric

Made from 100% polyester, this 138cm-wide chenille has a nubby, irregular texture with short vertical slubs and fine flecks of cream, beige, grey and muted blue-grey. Its light greige base reads calm and understated, while the mixed yarns give the cloth a slightly deeper, tactile finish as the light changes across the weave. Suitable for both contract and domestic upholstery, it is machine washable and has Domestic Cig & Match flame retardancy; it can also be treated to Crib 5 contract grade. The subtle, non-directional texture makes the colourway easy to use where a quiet surface is preferred over a strong pattern.

How to use it

Use this pale taupe greige on a sofa, headboard or occasional chair alongside warm oak, chalky walls and natural linen. Pick out the cooler grey flecks with stone, soft blue-grey or charcoal accents for a layered scheme.

A softly mottled pale greige chenille that brings subtle woven depth to upholstered seating.

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.
