Olbia FabricOLB3894

OLB3894 is a softly mottled chenille in a pale oatmeal and stone palette, with fine sage, dusty blush and grey flecks woven across the surface. Its close, nubby texture gives the colourway a gently layered appearance rather than a flat neutral finish.

About this fabric

This 100% polyester chenille has a 138cm width and is suitable for both contract and domestic upholstery. The visible ground shifts between warm oatmeal, pale taupe and light grey, while small muted green and blush threads add restrained colour variation. Its compact, irregular weave catches the light in tiny changes across the surface, creating a relaxed textile character. OLB3894 is machine washable and has domestic Cig & Match flame retardancy; it can also be treated to Crib 5 contract grade.

How to use it

Use OLB3894 on a sofa, armchair or dining seat where its warm oatmeal base can soften darker timber and balance cooler grey furnishings. Pick up the barely-there sage and blush flecks with understated cushions or painted accents rather than strong contrasting colour.

A softly mottled oatmeal chenille that brings subtle sage, blush and grey variation to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

OLB3894 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.
