Harvard Alabaster reads as a pale, softly warmed cream with an even, woolly surface and barely-there texture. Its clean, light tone gives the plain cloth a calm, tailored feel.

About this fabric

This colourway in the Harvard II collection is a 100% wool fabric with an approximate width of 140cm and no visible repeat, making the finish feel quietly restrained and useful across simple schemes. The swatch shows a smooth, matte surface in a soft alabaster cream, with just enough tonal variation in the weave to stop it feeling flat. The colour sits between ivory and warm white, giving it a gentle glow rather than a stark brightness. With care code Q 8 + T 3 and √BH fire compliance, it is a practical choice where a refined wool plain is needed.

How to use it

Use Harvard Alabaster to soften structured upholstery, especially in rooms with timber, linen and stone surfaces. Its pale warmth also works well as a backdrop for deeper accent colours, where the cream can keep the scheme feeling lifted and composed.

A quiet, versatile cream that pairs neatly with oak, stone and deeper wool tones.

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.
