Description of an old house.
Met kalkverf, een vloer in gris d’Ardennes en een store in cashmier heeft ook de hal een stijlvolle uitstraling.
this is a Belgian text, but possibly written by a French speaker. A store in French could be blinds, but it seems odd to talk about cashmere blinds. Any ideas gratefully received.

André Linsen
: The text is in Flemish, not French ;-). In Flanders we tend to use a lot of French words incorrectly in our dialects (see my discussion entry). It is cashmere, by the way, not cashmire.

a cashmere curtain
or drape, or heavy curtain.

cashmere drapery
Drapes are sometimes made in cashmere if their purpose is to close out the cold. As this is a description of an old house this sounds correct. Drapes are generally considered to be heavier than curtains and go from ceiling to floor.
Discussion
it turns "met kalkverf, een vloer in gris des Ardennes en een store in cashmier" into a logical sequence
in addition, these are the elements you would most likely mention when describing a hall

'met kalkverf' doesn't necessarily pertain to "vloer in gris DES Ardennes" and "store in cashmier", but can also mean that the hall in general has been painted in 'kalkverf'
If so, the floor is made of this type of limestone and the 'store is in cashmier' :-)
but I think you're onto something with the cashmier
the floor has been painted in 'gris d'Ardennes kalkverf' and the store in 'cashmier kalkverf'
