About this fabric

This 300 gsm fabric has a calm, even appearance, with subtle woven texture visible across the thyme-olive ground. The colour sits between softened green and warm olive, reading natural and restrained rather than bright or saturated. With a 144 cm usable width, it offers a practical mid-weight option for both upholstery and drapery. The design has a 0 cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeat, while the standard length is 35 m.

How to use it

Pair Alvar Thyme with warm oak, aged brass and oatmeal upholstery for a grounded, softly botanical scheme. Its muted olive tone also works well as a quiet curtain or blind fabric against cream and stone walls.

Use this muted thyme-olive plain weave to bring a soft, natural depth to upholstery, curtains or blinds.

Pairs well with

Alvar Thyme 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.
