About this fabric

The 300gsm construction gives Alvar Topaz a versatile mid-weight presence, suitable for both upholstery and drapery. Across the swatch, the muted mauve-taupe shade reads soft and slightly warm, while the close weave creates a restrained, lightly textured finish. With a 144cm usable width and 35m standard length, it is practical for larger interior applications. The vertical and horizontal pattern repeats are both 0cm, confirming the plain, non-directional appearance visible here.

How to use it

Use Alvar Topaz to soften a neutral room with a dusky mauve note: it would work equally well on a tailored occasional chair or full-length curtains. Pair it with warm ivory, mushroom, pale timber and brushed metal so the colour’s gentle depth remains visible.

A softly muted mauve-taupe plain weave that brings understated colour to upholstery, curtains and relaxed layered schemes.

Pairs well with

Alvar Topaz 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.
