Alvar Oak

Alvar 2 FabricCCF0370-86

Alvar Oak is a warm mushroom-taupe plain with a softly mottled surface that gives the cloth gentle depth rather than a flat, uniform finish. Its quiet brown-grey tone reads earthy and composed in the close-up swatch.

About this fabric

The 300 gsm fabric has a smooth, softly brushed-looking face, with fine tonal variation visible across the warm taupe ground. It is supplied at a 144 cm usable width and a standard 35 m length, making it practical for larger furnishing schemes. Both the vertical and horizontal pattern repeats are 0 cm, confirming the completely plain layout. The muted brown-grey colouring keeps the overall effect smart while the subtle surface variation prevents it from appearing stark.

How to use it

Use Alvar Oak on a tailored armchair, sofa or relaxed curtain scheme where its warm mushroom tone can soften darker timber and sit comfortably with oatmeal, stone and deep brown accents. Its plain, low-contrast surface also works well as a calm coordinating textile beside stronger patterns.

A warm mushroom-taupe plain with subtle tonal depth for tailored upholstery, curtains or coordinating panels.

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.
