Villa Nova

Contemporary British Design That's Stylish and Accessible

Founded in 1993, Villa Nova brings fresh, trend-focused design to the world of interior fabrics and wallcoverings. As part of The Romo Group, Villa Nova shares the same British heritage and quality craftsmanship as its sister brand Romo, but with a distinctly modern, accessible approach that makes stylish design available to more homes.

The brand's philosophy centres on "making style affordable" without compromising on design quality or sophistication. Villa Nova's talented in-house design studio releases two new collections each year, drawing inspiration from fashion runways, nature, art, and evolving colour trends. This commitment to staying current whilst remaining accessible has made Villa Nova a favourite amongst homeowners and designers who want contemporary British design at approachable price points.

At Kessels Upholstery in Ottawa, we're proud to offer Villa Nova's vibrant collections of contemporary fabrics, wallcoverings, and coordinating accessories. Whether you're updating a single chair or transforming an entire room, Villa Nova delivers fashion-forward design that works beautifully in real homes.

Signature Colour Palettes and Fashion-Inspired Design

Villa Nova is renowned for its distinctive signature colour palette featuring mint green, blush pink, powder blue, and ochre. These are soft, contemporary hues that bring warmth and personality to any space. These carefully curated colours coordinate effortlessly across collections, making it simple to mix patterns and textures from different ranges. The twice-yearly release schedule ensures fresh designs that reflect current aesthetics whilst maintaining timeless appeal.

The in-house design studio creates every pattern, colourway, and collection with meticulous attention to detail. This studio approach ensures design integrity and allows for rapid response to emerging trends in fashion, art, and interior design. The team balances fashion-forward thinking with practical versatility, creating fabrics that are as functional as they are beautiful.

The studio's design process draws from diverse sources—botanical gardens, contemporary art galleries, vintage textiles, and street fashion. This eclectic inspiration results in collections that feel current yet enduring, sophisticated yet approachable. Each fabric is designed not just to look beautiful on its own, but to coordinate seamlessly with other Villa Nova products and across multiple collections.

Product Range

Villa Nova offers a comprehensive selection of fabrics and coordinating products designed for modern living. The collection includes bold printed fabrics featuring florals, geometric patterns, and nature-inspired motifs with contemporary twists. Jacquards provide textured weaves with dimensional interest, whilst decorative weaves add sophisticated texture without overwhelming a space.

The range extends to lightweight sheers perfect for layering and filtering natural light, versatile plains and semi-plains in the signature colour palette, and coordinating wallcoverings that pair seamlessly with fabric collections. Ready-made accessories including cushions, throws, rugs, and trimmings complete the offering, making it easy to achieve a cohesive, designer look throughout your home.

One of Villa Nova's most practical and distinctive features is the thoughtful coordination between collections. Fabrics and wallcoverings are designed to work together not just within a single collection, but across multiple ranges and seasons. This intelligent design approach means you can confidently mix a floral print from one collection with a geometric from another, or combine fabrics from different years, knowing the colours and styles will harmonize beautifully.

This coordinating philosophy makes Villa Nova particularly appealing for homeowners who want to refresh their interiors gradually or create layered, collected looks without starting from scratch each time. The consistency of the signature colour palette across collections ensures that pieces purchased years apart will still work together seamlessly. Whether you're adding new cushions to complement existing curtains or upholstering furniture to coordinate with wallcoverings, Villa Nova's thoughtful design makes mixing and matching effortless.

Part of The Romo Group Family

As a division of The Romo Group since its founding, Villa Nova benefits from generations of British textile expertise whilst maintaining its own distinct identity. The Romo Group comprises six established interior brands: Romo, Black Edition, Kirkby Design, Mark Alexander, Villa Nova, and Zinc Textile; each with unique character and positioning in the market. 

Where Romo offers contemporary and classic sophistication, Villa Nova provides trend-focused accessibility. This family connection means Villa Nova fabrics are manufactured to the same exacting standards as premium Romo Group products, with rigorous quality control and attention to detail throughout the production process. The shared manufacturing facilities and expertise ensure consistent quality across all Villa Nova collections.

The Romo Group's British heritage, dating back to 1902, informs Villa Nova's commitment to quality and design excellence. However, as the younger, more accessible brand within the family, Villa Nova focuses on making current trends and fashionable design available to a broader audience without compromising on the craftsmanship and durability expected from British textile manufacturers.
