Name: Nova Fr Dolomite
Brand: Kirkby Design

Nova Fr Dolomite is a restrained taupe textile with a warm grey-brown cast. Its close, softly irregular surface gives the plain colour gentle depth rather than a completely flat appearance.

About this fabric

The colour sits between warm grey and muted brown, creating a grounded Dolomite tone that reads calm and understated in the swatch. A fine, closely woven texture is visible across the surface, with subtle tonal variation catching the light softly. The design has no visible motif or repeat, so its character comes from the weave and quietly nuanced colour. No composition, width, rub-test or other performance specification has been supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use this warm grey-brown taupe to bring softness to a neutral sitting room, pairing it with chalky creams, natural timber and deeper brown accents. Its low-contrast woven surface would also suit coordinated curtains or relaxed upholstered pieces without introducing a strong pattern.

A quietly sophisticated taupe with subtle woven variation, suited to calm upholstery and softly tailored window treatments.

Pairs well with

Nova Fr Dolomite 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.
