About this fabric

The blue-green tone sits between softened teal and blue-grey, with a calm, slightly mineral quality rather than a bright or saturated finish. A fine, understated weave creates delicate tonal variation across the surface, while the overall design remains plain with 0cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeats. At 300gsm and 144cm usable width, it is a versatile mid-weight suitable for both upholstery and drapery. The standard length is 35m, making it practical for coordinated larger-scale schemes.

How to use it

Use this cool Eau De Nil shade to bring a restrained blue-green note to an armchair, headboard or full-length curtains. It pairs naturally with chalky whites, pale timbers and warm taupes, which soften the colour's grey-blue depth.

A cool, softly mottled blue-green neutral that works across tailored upholstery and relaxed window treatments.

Pairs well with

Alvar Eau De Nil 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.
