Alvar 2 FabricCCF0370-80

Alvar Mole is a softly muted taupe-grey plain fabric with a quiet, finely woven surface. Its even colour reads warm and understated across the swatch, with just enough texture to prevent it feeling flat.

About this fabric

This 300gsm textile has a smooth, subtly mottled weave in a restrained mole taupe shade, sitting between warm grey and soft brown. There is no visible motif, and the supplied vertical and horizontal pattern repeats are both 0cm, making it straightforward to position across a project. With a usable width of 144cm, Alvar Mole offers a practical mid-weight option for coordinated upholstery and drapery. Its low-contrast surface keeps the overall impression calm, tailored and discreet.

How to use it

Pair this mole taupe with chalky creams, mushroom neutrals and dark timber for a quietly sophisticated room. Its gentle grey-brown depth also works well as a grounding plain alongside patterned cushions or curtains.

Use this understated mole taupe as a calm foundation for upholstered seating, curtains or layered neutral schemes.

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.
