About this fabric

The swatch presents a consistent ochre-gold field, with subtle tonal variation that gives the surface a gently brushed, tactile appearance. At 300 gsm and 144 cm wide, it offers a versatile mid-weight suitable for both upholstery and drapery. With a 0 cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeat, it can be cut without aligning a design. The supplied standard length is 35 m.

How to use it

Use this warm ochre on an occasional chair, bench or relaxed curtain to add a mellow golden note to neutral rooms. Pair it with chalky creams, natural timber and deeper rust or olive accents to draw out its earthy warmth.

A warm ochre plain with softly varied shading, suitable for upholstery or curtains.

Pairs well with

Alvar Ochre 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.
