About this fabric

Woven from 100% polyester, this 138cm-wide chenille combines an ivory-grey ground with fine vertical flecks in muted blue-grey and charcoal. The close texture creates gentle tonal variation rather than a defined motif, while the chenille pile gives the surface a softly tactile finish. It is graded for contract and domestic upholstery and is machine washable for practical everyday use. Flame retardancy is Domestic Cig & Match, with treatment available to achieve Crib 5 contract grade.

How to use it

Use this pale greige colourway on a sofa, armchair or dining seat where its cool ivory base can lighten the room without appearing stark. Pair it with chalky whites, weathered timber and blue-grey accents to pick up the darker woven flecks.

A softly mottled pale greige chenille for upholstered seating in both domestic and contract settings.

OLB3896 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.
