Chenilla Sofas

    Chenille is a fabric you want to touch before you even sit down. Its soft, slightly nubby surface comes from chenille yarn: short fibres held between core threads to create a raised, velvety pile. That's why a chenille sofa looks inviting in photos—and feels just as good in person. The Brick's chenille collection includes Made-in-Canada Sofa Lab models, where you can choose your arm style and fabric colour to match your space.

    Why Chenille Works for Everyday Living

    Chenille's raised pile isn't flat or smooth—it's textured, which gives a room visual depth next to smoother surfaces like leather, wood or glass. How long a specific piece holds up depends on weave tightness, fibre type and build, so a tighter weave generally wears better over time. The pile can catch on pet claws or sharp fasteners, and dust tends to settle into the texture more visibly than on smooth fabrics, so regular vacuuming with an upholstery attachment keeps it looking its best.

    The category includes condo-size pieces for smaller spaces, along with select full-size models built with high-density foam cushions. Looking for a different seating format?

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is a chenille sofa good for pets?

    Chenille can work well in pet-friendly homes with regular upkeep. Trimmed claws reduce the risk of snagging the pile, and a tighter weave tends to hold up better than a looser one.

    How do you clean a chenille sofa?

    Regular vacuuming with an upholstery attachment, plus blotting spills right away instead of rubbing, helps prevent matting or staining. Always check the care tag first, since cleaning methods vary by fabric blend and finish.

    Does chenille fade in sunlight?

    Like most upholstery fabrics, extended direct sunlight can cause chenille to fade over time. Keeping your sofa out of strong window light helps it hold its colour longer.
