Novara Ruby presents a clean field of deep pink-red, with the saturated colour softened by a fine, subtly tonal weave. Its even surface shows gentle variation as the light moves across the swatch.

About this fabric

This plain fabric reads between berry and crimson, with a rich ruby depth rather than a bright scarlet finish. The close weave creates a softly mottled surface, while the absence of a visible motif keeps the colour at the forefront. Its 290 cm usable width offers generous coverage, and the 175 gsm weight gives it a light, refined presence. With 0 cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeats, it can be planned continuously without motif matching.

How to use it

Use the deep ruby tone to bring a concentrated note of colour to full-length curtains, occasional upholstery or cushions. It pairs particularly well with warm neutrals and dark timber, which allow the berry-red depth to remain the focal point.

Deep ruby red brings saturated colour to curtains, cushions and lighter upholstered pieces.

Pairs well with

Novara Ruby 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.
