Chenille Armchairs
Chenille armchairs are part of our Made to Order collection. A good alternative to velvet, chenille armchairs come in five colours ranging from off-white, blues and deep reds. A chenille armchair is the perfect way to add a touch of personality to your room, or to complement a neutral environment.
Is Chenille a velvet?
No chenille is not velvet. The two fabrics are manufactured in different ways. In French, Chenille means ‘caterpillar’ because the fabric is weaved to look like a caterpillar. Velvet, however, is cut to make a finish that is extremely soft-to-touch.

Chenille Armchair FAQs

-
Is Chenille Good For Furniture?
Chenille is a great choice for furniture, especially upholstered pieces like sofas, armchairs, ottomans, footstools. It’s a fabric that looks good, is durable, versatile and comfortable.
-
Is Chenille The Same As Velvet?
No. Both Chenille and Velvet are seen as plush, soft-to-touch and luxe, but there are key differences in appearance, fabric construction and the materials used. Velvet is made by weaving two threads together and cutting them apart. Chenille, on the other hand, uses yarn that is woven into tight loops, creating a soft feel.
-
Can You Clean Chenille Armchairs?
Yes, you can clean chenille armchairs, but you have to be careful to make sure you don’t ruin the fabric. Hoover regularly to remove any dirt or dust. Blot clean if any liquid is spilt onto a chenille armchair. Move the armchair away from direct sunlight and flip the cushions to ensure there's even wear.
-
Are Chenille Couches Durable?
Chenille has a tight weave which means it is naturally durable and holds together well against everyday wear and tear of a sofa. However, it does require more maintenance than a typical upholstered sofa. Chenille can’t be machine washed and will need to be cleaned professional or spot cleaned. We’d recommend looking at our Emmiera Furniture Protection.
