About this fabric
The swatch shows an even ruby-red ground with gently varied shading across the surface, suggesting a soft, light-catching texture rather than a flat finish. With a 300gsm weight and 144cm usable width, this fabric has the substance to work across both upholstery and drapery applications. The supplied specification lists a 0cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeat, making it a plain colourway with no pattern matching to manage. Its dark red depth brings a luxe, enveloping feel to the design while retaining the visual simplicity of a solid textile.
How to use it
Pair Alvar Ruby with warm timber, aged brass or dark neutrals where its concentrated red tone can act as the room’s focal colour. It would bring particular depth to a reading chair, headboard, full-length curtain or occasional cushion.
Use this deep ruby shade to bring concentrated colour and a softly textured finish to upholstery, curtains or cushions.

Pairs well with
Alvar Ruby 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.
