Vara Fabric

Vara Almond is a quiet, warm cream textile with a fine woven surface that reveals subtle shifts between almond, ivory and soft taupe in the close-up. Its restrained plain construction lets the natural variation of the yarns provide the visual interest.

About this fabric

The image shows a closely woven plain with delicate horizontal and vertical texture, giving the pale almond ground a lightly slubbed, tactile appearance rather than a flat solid finish. Vara Almond is 137cm wide and specified for fixed upholstery in Contract and General Domestic settings. Its composition combines 17% viscose, 23% recycled polyester, 44% acrylic, 7% linen and 9% polyester. The fabric is dry clean only, so professional care should be followed for upholstered pieces.

How to use it

Use this warm almond cream on a sofa, dining chair or headboard where its low-contrast weave can soften stronger timber tones, chalky whites and muted taupes. In bright rooms it reads as a gentle ivory neutral, while the fine texture prevents the upholstery from feeling stark.

A softly textured almond-neutral weave for relaxed fixed upholstery, pairing easily with natural timber and warm off-whites.

Pairs well with

Vara Almond 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.
