About this fabric

The colour sits between toasted brown and deep caramel, with the earthy warmth suggested by its pecan name. A fine, velvety-looking surface gives the cloth a low, softly diffused sheen rather than a sharp gloss. The swatch is plain, with no visible motif or repeat, allowing the nuanced brown tone and gentle nap to provide the visual interest. No additional performance or construction specifications were supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this pecan-brown colourway to bring warmth to an upholstered armchair, sofa or headboard, particularly alongside cream, oat, walnut and aged brass. Its softly shaded surface can add depth to a room without introducing a pattern.

Pairs well with

Nova Fr Pecan 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.
