Alvar 2 FabricCCF0370-06

Alvar Indigo is a deep, cool blue textile with a softly mottled surface that shifts between smoky indigo and darker blue patches. Its quiet tonal variation gives the plain-looking cloth depth without introducing a visible motif.

About this fabric

At 300 gsm, Alvar Indigo has the substance of a versatile mid-weight fabric suitable for both upholstery and drapery. The 144 cm usable width offers practical coverage for furnishing projects. Both the vertical and horizontal pattern repeats are 0 cm, consistent with the swatch’s non-directional, all-over tonal texture. Close up, the indigo ground reads as softly clouded rather than flat, with subtle blue-grey variation catching across the surface.

How to use it

Use this cool, deep indigo on an occasional chair, headboard or full-length curtain where its smoky tonal depth can anchor paler neutrals. Pair it with chalky whites, weathered timber or muted blue-grey accents to keep the scheme atmospheric rather than high-contrast.

A versatile mid-weight indigo textile whose softly mottled surface brings depth to upholstery, curtains and blinds.

Pairs well with

Alvar Indigo 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.
