Alvar 2 FabricCCF0370-47

Alvar Snow is a quiet ivory-white textile with a nearly plain surface and a very subtle woven texture. Its softly diffused tone reads lighter and warmer than a stark optical white.

About this fabric

The swatch shows a smooth, matte cloth in a soft snow-white shade with a faint creamy cast and barely perceptible surface variation. At 300gsm and 144cm wide, it has the substance of a versatile mid-weight fabric for both upholstery and drapery. The 0cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeats confirm that this is a plain, non-directional colourway with no motif to match. Each 35m standard length provides a generous continuous run for larger schemes.

How to use it

Pair Alvar Snow with pale timber, chalky neutrals and tactile natural textures for a light, calm interior. Its gentle ivory warmth is especially effective where bright white would feel too stark, on relaxed seating or softly gathered curtains.

Use this softly textured ivory-white cloth to lighten upholstery, curtains or layered neutral schemes.

Pairs well with

Alvar Snow 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.
