About this fabric

The dense-looking face is coloured through in dark plum and burgundy tones, giving the swatch a rich, enveloping appearance. Fine tonal shifts move across the surface, creating depth without introducing a distinct motif or contrast. Light catches the subtle texture unevenly, so the colour reads slightly lighter in some areas and almost aubergine in others. The supplied record notes no performance features, so suitability should be confirmed against the intended upholstery application.

How to use it

Pair Nova Fr Plum with warm timber, smoked oak or aged brass to balance its dark burgundy depth. It would make a particularly atmospheric choice for an armchair, sofa or upholstered headboard in a low-lit room.

Use this dark plum upholstery to bring depth and a quietly luxurious feel to seating and occasional chairs.

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.
