Red Chenille Fabric for Upholstery, Pillows and Throws
Few textiles add warmth to a room like red chenille fabric. Its soft, tufted pile catches the light and deepens the color, so a simple cushion or armchair suddenly feels rich and inviting. Whether you prefer a bright cherry, a classic crimson chenille or a moody burgundy chenille, this plush weave brings comfort and drama to any project.
Why Choose Red Chenille?
Chenille is woven with fuzzy yarns that create a velvety texture without the delicacy of true velvet. Heavier weights often work well as red chenille upholstery fabric, while lighter, drapier versions suit throws and garments.

What to Look For
Start with weight and intended use: upholstery projects need a sturdy, tightly woven base, while soft chenille fabric with more drape is better for pillows and throws. Compare shades in natural light, since red can shift warmer or cooler indoors.
Plan your yardage carefully, too. Chenille has a pile direction, so order a little extra chenille by the yard if you need to match panels or cushions.
