Novara Cocoa is a deep, earthy brown textile with an almost uniform appearance and a softly textured surface. Its restrained colour reads warm and grounded, while the subtle tonal variation keeps the plain cloth from looking flat.

About this fabric

This plain fabric has no visible motif, and both its vertical and horizontal pattern repeats are 0 cm, giving curtains a clean, continuous finish. The cocoa-brown shade is muted rather than red or orange, with a low-key depth that absorbs light gently across the surface. At 175 gsm and 290 cm usable width, it is particularly well suited to generous drapery panels, with a standard length of 40 m.

How to use it

Use Novara Cocoa for full-height curtains in rooms with warm timber, aged brass or cream upholstery, where its deep brown tone can provide quiet architectural definition without introducing a pattern.

A deep cocoa tone with a quiet surface texture, ideal for understated full-length curtains and relaxed Roman blinds.

Pairs well with

Novara Cocoa 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.
