Novara Bordeaux is a quietly textured plain fabric in a deep wine-red shade, with a soft berry cast that changes subtly across the surface. Its uninterrupted face lets the colour provide the visual focus.

About this fabric

The close, even weave has a gently mottled appearance rather than a printed motif, giving the Bordeaux colourway understated depth. The shade sits between rich red and dusky berry, reading warm and enveloping without becoming bright or glossy. At 175gsm and 290cm usable width, it is particularly well suited to broad curtain drops and other generous window treatments. With zero vertical and horizontal pattern repeat, it can be cut and joined without matching a design.

How to use it

Use Novara Bordeaux for full-height curtains in a room with warm timber, aged brass or softly contrasting neutrals; its dusky wine tone is especially effective against pale plaster and creamy upholstery.

The muted Bordeaux tone brings depth to full-length curtains while the plain weave keeps the finish composed and uncluttered.

Pairs well with

Novara Bordeaux 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.
