Alvar 2 FabricCCF0370-56

Alvar Chartreuse is a vivid yellow-green plain fabric with a softly varied surface that shifts between fresh chartreuse and warmer golden tones. Its even, tactile appearance makes the colour the defining feature of the cloth.

About this fabric

The 300 gsm fabric has a fine, subtly mottled surface rather than a visible motif, giving the saturated chartreuse shade gentle tonal depth. The colour reads warm and energetic, with softer golden patches appearing across the yellow-green ground as the light changes. With a usable width of 144 cm, it is practical for both upholstery and drapery applications. There is no vertical or horizontal pattern repeat, and the standard length is 35 m.

How to use it

Use Alvar Chartreuse to bring a clear shot of warm yellow-green to a reading chair, sofa cushions or full-length curtains. It works particularly well against chalky neutrals, honey-toned timber and other understated textures that let the colour remain the focus.

Use this lively chartreuse as a confident accent on upholstery, curtains or cushions, balanced with warm neutrals and natural textures.

Pairs well with

Alvar Chartreuse 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.
