About this fabric

Catalogued as a fabric, Nova Fr Mallard presents a dark green shade with a restrained blue-teal cast. The image shows a dense-looking, softly brushed surface with fine tonal variation and no visible woven motif or repeat. Its substantial visual weight makes it best suited to upholstery, particularly clean-lined or tailored seating. No performance features, composition, width or rub-test data are noted for this colourway.

How to use it

Use this cool, deep mallard shade on an armchair, sofa or upholstered headboard where its muted depth can anchor lighter woods, warm neutrals and aged brass. It also works well as a quiet alternative to charcoal or navy.

A deep, cool mallard tone with softly mottled depth for tailored upholstery and considered interiors.

Pairs well with

Nova Fr Mallard 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.
