About this fabric

This plain fabric is coloured in a muted grape purple, balancing violet depth with a slightly softened, dusky finish rather than a bright saturated tone. Its fine surface texture creates quiet variation across the swatch, while the absence of a visible motif keeps the colour at the centre. With a 300 gsm weight and a 144 cm usable width, it is suited to both upholstery and drapery applications. The vertical and horizontal pattern repeats are both 0 cm, and the standard length is 35 m.

How to use it

Use Alvar Grape to give a chair, headboard or full-length curtain a deep violet anchor, especially alongside warm neutrals, smoked timber or pale stone. Its muted tone can read atmospheric in low light and more softly plum-toned in brighter rooms.

The muted grape-purple tone brings depth to upholstery and drapery while its subtle surface texture prevents the plain colour from feeling flat.

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.
