About this fabric

The nutmeg tone reads as a mellow mid-brown, warmer and softer than a cool taupe, with a matte finish that remains understated in the photographed swatch. A subtle woven grain is visible across the plain face, adding quiet texture while keeping the colourway visually clean. At 175 gsm, this is a relatively light cloth suited to fluid drapery rather than heavy upholstery. The generous 290 cm usable width and zero-centimetre vertical and horizontal pattern repeats make it practical for wide curtain drops with no design matching required.

How to use it

Use Novara Nutmeg for relaxed full-length curtains where its warm brown tone can bring depth to cream, stone and natural timber schemes. Its unpatterned face also works well as a calm backdrop for stronger upholstery or patterned cushions.

A calm, earthy plain weave for full-length curtains and other softly tailored window treatments.

Pairs well with

Novara Nutmeg 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.
