About this fabric

The colour reads as a deepened khaki olive, subdued rather than bright, with gentle tonal variation across the surface as the light shifts. A fine, low-key weave gives the fabric a smooth, quietly tactile appearance. At 175 gsm, it has a light-to-midweight handle that is well suited to drapery. The 290 cm usable width is practical for generous curtain drops, while the 0 cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeats confirm its plain, non-directional construction.

How to use it

Use Novara Khaki at full length in a room with warm timber, stone or putty neutrals, where its greyed olive tone can add depth without overwhelming the scheme. Its plain surface also works well alongside stronger checks, stripes or botanical prints.

Use this subdued khaki olive for calm, tailored curtains that bring depth without a strong pattern.

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.
