Alvar Lime is a vivid yellow-green textile with a gently softened, tonal surface. Its close-up appearance shows fine texture rather than a printed motif, allowing the colour to remain the focus.

About this fabric

This plain Clarke & Clarke fabric has a fresh lime tone that leans yellow in the light, tempered by subtle tonal variation across its softly textured surface. At 300gsm, it is a versatile mid-weight suitable for both upholstery and drapery. The 144cm usable width supports practical cutting, while the 0cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeats make it straightforward to position without pattern matching. The even face gives the strong colour a composed, smart finish rather than a high-gloss effect.

How to use it

Use Alvar Lime to energise a neutral room on an occasional chair, bench or pair of curtains, where its yellow-green tone adds warmth without becoming orange. Balance it with chalky whites, natural timber and soft greys to let the colour lead.

A softly textured lime green that brings fresh colour to upholstery, curtains and cushions.

Pairs well with

Alvar Lime 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.
