About this fabric

This Clarke & Clarke Alvar 2 fabric has a quiet, irregular texture across its plain cranberry surface, with darker plum-like areas adding tonal variation. The colour is saturated and warm without becoming bright, creating a more enveloping impression than a clear red. At 300 gsm, it has a versatile mid-weight presence suited to both upholstery and drapery. The usable width is 144 cm, with a standard length of 35 m, while the 0 cm vertical and horizontal repeats confirm that the design is non-directional and plain.

How to use it

Use Alvar Cranberry on an occasional chair, headboard or full-length curtain where its deep berry tone can act as the room’s warm colour anchor. Pair it with aged timber, smoked metal or muted neutrals to let the subtle surface variation show.

Use this deep cranberry tone to bring rich, grown-up colour to upholstery, curtains or layered soft furnishings.

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.
