Alvar Forest is a deep forest-green textile with a softly mottled surface that shifts subtly between near-black green and lighter mossy undertones. Its plain appearance keeps the colour and texture in focus.

About this fabric

The 300 gsm weight gives Alvar Forest a substantial mid-weight handle suited to both upholstery and drapery. Across the swatch, the dark green ground is gently clouded with tonal variation rather than a defined motif, creating depth without a visible pattern. Its 144 cm usable width provides practical coverage, while the 0 cm vertical and horizontal repeats confirm that the design is plain and non-directional. The standard length is 35 m.

How to use it

Use Alvar Forest to bring a cool, grounded depth to a reading chair, sofa or full-length curtain, pairing it with warm timber, aged brass and soft neutral upholstery. Its almost-black green character works especially well in rooms where a rich, enveloping accent is wanted without a strong printed pattern.

A deep, quietly mottled green with enough weight for upholstery and enough versatility for drapery.

Pairs well with

Alvar Forest 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.
