About this fabric

Alvar Beaver is a muted taupe with a gently mauve-brown cast, visible as a soft, even field across the swatch. Subtle vertical tonal movement and a lightly brushed, woven-looking surface keep the plain design from appearing flat. At 300 gsm and 144 cm usable width, it is a versatile mid-weight for upholstery or drapery. The 0 cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeats confirm there is no repeating motif to align.

How to use it

Use this cool, softened beaver taupe to upholster a relaxed armchair or sofa, or carry it through to full-length curtains for a calm, tonal scheme. Pair it with chalky creams, weathered timber and deeper brown accents to bring out its mauve-brown depth.

Use this softly muted taupe on upholstery or full-length curtains where gentle texture and a calm, tonal finish are wanted.

Pairs well with

Alvar Beaver 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.
