Alvar Gunmetal is a deep, cool grey textile with the quiet depth of charcoal softened by subtle tonal variation. Its surface appears softly mottled rather than patterned, giving the cloth a restrained, tactile character.

About this fabric

This 300 gsm fabric has a substantial mid-weight presence, while the 144 cm usable width makes it practical for both upholstery and drapery applications. The gunmetal shade reads as a dark graphite grey, with faint shifts in tone visible across the woven-looking surface as the light changes. With a 0 cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeat, it can be cut without matching a motif. The 35 m standard length is suited to larger furnishing projects requiring continuity.

How to use it

Use Alvar Gunmetal to bring cool, tailored depth to a sofa, occasional chair or headboard, particularly alongside pale stone, crisp white or aged timber. Its quiet, non-directional surface also makes it an effective choice for understated curtains or blinds.

A cool, deep gunmetal grey with a subtle tonal surface that suits tailored upholstery and understated window treatments.

Pairs well with

Alvar Gunmetal 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.
