About this fabric

The swatch shows a quiet cream ground with subtle tonal variation across its fine surface, creating a soft woven appearance rather than a flat, stark white effect. At 300 gsm, it has the visual presence of a versatile mid-weight cloth suitable for both upholstery and drapery. The fabric has a useable width of 144 cm and a standard length of 35 m. With a 0 cm vertical and 0 cm horizontal pattern repeat, it can be cut as a plain cloth without aligning a design.

How to use it

Use this warm cream as a light, calming upholstery or curtain colour, pairing it with natural timber, oat tones and softly contrasting darker neutrals to bring out its subtle surface depth.

A softly textured cream cloth for calm upholstery, curtains and other understated interiors.

Alvar Cream 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.
