Alvar 2 FabricCCF0370-36

Alvar Espresso is a deep, warm brown with a softly mottled surface that gives the plain cloth gentle tonal depth. The close-up image shows a quiet, brushed-looking texture rather than a defined motif or repeat.

About this fabric

This 300 gsm fabric has a rich espresso tone, reading warmer and deeper in the darker areas of the surface while softer brown highlights catch the light. Its plain appearance has no visible pattern, reflected in the supplied 0 cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeats. The fabric has a 144 cm usable width and a standard length of 35 m. With its substantial but not overly heavy-looking handle, it is suited to both upholstery and drapery applications.

How to use it

Pair Alvar Espresso with cream, tobacco or warm stone furnishings to bring out its chocolate depth, or use it on a statement chair where the subtle tonal texture can be seen up close. As curtains, its dark brown colour will create a cocooning, grounded frame around a room.

Use this deep espresso tone to add warmth and depth to upholstery or full-length curtains.

Pairs well with

Alvar Espresso 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.
