About this fabric

This 100% polyester chenille is woven in a dense, irregular texture that combines blue-grey, charcoal and subdued blue-green fibres for a shadowed, tactile finish. At 138cm wide, it is specified for both contract and domestic upholstery. OLB3833 is machine washable, and has Domestic Cig & Match flame retardancy; it can also be treated to Crib 5 contract grade. The dark, cool colour and finely varied surface make the fabric read as substantial without relying on a formal pattern.

How to use it

Use OLB3833 on a sofa, headboard or reading chair where its charcoal depth can anchor pale walls, while the blue-grey and muted teal threads add cooler tonal interest. Pair it with brushed metal, smoked wood and soft grey textiles for a composed contemporary scheme.

Use this deep blue-grey chenille to bring tonal depth to contemporary sofas, armchairs and occasional upholstery.

Pairs well with

OLB3833 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.
