About this fabric

The swatch is plain, with no visible motif, and has a fine, subtly mottled texture that prevents the brown from appearing flat. Its warm fawn tone sits between earthy brown and softened taupe, with gentle shifts in the surface catching the light. The dense-looking face and restrained colour give it a composed, furniture-friendly character. No additional performance or composition specifications were supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this warm fawn-brown colourway on a sofa, armchair or upholstered headboard, pairing it with cream, oatmeal and muted olive accents. Its quiet surface also works well alongside darker timber and softly patterned textiles.

A warm, quietly textured brown for upholstered seating and furniture where a calm, tonal finish is wanted.

Nova Fr Fawn 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.
