About this fabric
This 300gsm fabric has a dense, nap-like appearance, with darker plum shadows and small areas where the light catches a brighter berry tone. Its plain surface has no pattern repeat, allowing the colour and texture to remain the focus. The 144cm usable width makes it practical for upholstery layouts, while the standard length is 35m. Alvar Plum’s cool, inky richness gives upholstered pieces a luxe, enveloping presence.
How to use it
Use Alvar Plum on an armchair, headboard or compact sofa where its deep berry tone can act as the room’s colour anchor. Pair it with ivory, mushroom, aged brass or dark walnut to soften and frame the saturated shade.
Use this richly saturated plum on statement seating, balancing its depth with warm neutrals, dark timber or softly metallic accents.

Alvar Plum 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.
