OLB3830 is a dense, tactile chenille woven in a layered taupe-brown shade, with fine cream, charcoal and muted rust flecks distributed across the surface. Its irregular texture gives the colourway a softly weathered, dimensional appearance.

About this fabric

Made from 100% polyester, this 138cm-wide chenille has a compact, nubby weave that is suited to both contract and domestic upholstery. The base reads as warm taupe-brown, while lighter cream threads and subdued rusty accents catch across the uneven surface. This restrained variation keeps the colour grounded rather than flat, with the raised weave adding visible depth as the light moves over it. OLB3830 is machine washable and rated for Domestic Cig & Match flame retardancy; it can be treated to Crib 5 contract grade.

How to use it

Use OLB3830 on a sofa, armchair or dining seat where its warm taupe-brown ground can sit comfortably with timber, aged metal and creamy neutrals. Pick out the muted rust flecks with terracotta accessories, or keep the scheme quiet with chalk, mushroom and charcoal tones.

A richly flecked taupe-brown chenille that brings tactile depth to upholstered seating.

OLB3830 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.
