Alvar 2 FabricCCF0370-71

Alvar Henna is a deep, warm brown textile with the earthy russet character suggested by its name. Its plain surface is subtly cloudy rather than completely flat, giving the colour gentle tonal depth as the light moves across it.

About this fabric

This 300gsm fabric has a softly mottled brown surface, shifting between henna, russet and deeper chocolate tones without a visible motif. The even plain design has a 0cm vertical and 0cm horizontal pattern repeat, making it straightforward to position across a project. With a 144cm useable width and a 35m standard length, it is a practical mid-weight option for coordinated upholstery and drapery schemes. The warm, low-key colour gives larger upholstered forms a grounded appearance while retaining enough tonal variation to avoid looking stark.

How to use it

Pair Alvar Henna with aged timber, natural linen and warm ivory for an earthy, quietly layered room. Its russet-brown depth also works well on a reading chair, bench or full-length curtain where the subtle surface variation can be seen in changing light.

Use this warm, earthy henna brown to bring quiet depth to sofas, occasional chairs, curtains or cushions.

Pairs well with

Alvar Henna 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.
