About this fabric

The colour sits between golden yellow and ochre, with a muted warmth rather than a bright, saturated sheen. A fine cloudy variation is visible across the surface, creating softly changing areas of light and shade while retaining a clean plain effect. At 300 gsm and 144 cm usable width, it has a versatile mid-weight profile for upholstery or drapery. The 0 cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeats make it straightforward to cut and position, while the standard length is 35 m.

How to use it

Use Alvar Gold to warm a neutral room on a tailored chair, sofa or headboard, or let it bring a sunlit ochre note to full-length curtains. Pair its softly varied surface with chalky creams, warm woods and muted olive accents.

A warm ochre-gold plain with subtle tonal variation, equally suited to softly tailored upholstery and full-length curtains.

Pairs well with

Alvar Gold 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.
