About this fabric

This 300 gsm textile has a rich damson tone that reads cool and shadowed, with subtle variation across the surface rather than a flat, synthetic-looking finish. The plain design has a 0 cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeat, making the colour and texture the sole visual focus. With a 144 cm usable width and a standard 35 m length, it is practical for coordinated upholstery and drapery projects. The dark purple shade gives tailored furniture or full-length curtains a quietly luxurious presence.

How to use it

Use Alvar Damson to deepen a room with plum-toned seating, headboards or generous curtains, then balance its shadowed purple with warm timber, aged brass or soft neutral upholstery. Its plain surface also works well where patterned cushions or a more decorative rug need to remain the focus.

A deep, softly textured damson plain that brings quiet depth to upholstery, curtains and layered schemes.

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.
