Alvar 2 FabricCCF0370-16

Alvar Taupe has a gentle, warm taupe ground with a barely mottled surface that gives the plain cloth quiet tonal depth. Its softly brushed-looking appearance remains understated rather than sharply patterned.

About this fabric

This 300gsm fabric has a calm, mid-weight presence, making it suitable for both upholstery and drapery. The visible surface is plain and softly irregular, with delicate beige, blush and taupe shifts that prevent the colour from appearing flat. With a 144cm usable width and a standard length of 35m, it offers practical coverage for larger projects. Both the vertical and horizontal pattern repeats are 0cm, consistent with the uninterrupted appearance of this colourway.

How to use it

Use Alvar Taupe to bring a warm, lightly softened neutral to sofas, occasional chairs or full-length curtains. Its muted beige-taupe tone pairs naturally with timber, chalky walls and deeper brown or charcoal accents.

A softly mottled warm taupe with the quiet versatility to suit upholstery, curtains and other coordinating applications.

Pairs well with

Alvar Taupe 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.
