The Nove Palette, Specified for Main-Floor Rooms
Nove Plus is the middle tier of the Nove family: the same 8 colors and the same extra-wide 9 by 48 inch plank as Nove, with the wear layer doubled to 12 mil. That is the step that moves a color out of bedrooms and into the rooms the whole household walks through.
The build is a 2mm dryback plank bonded with full-spread adhesive, waterproof throughout, rated for radiant heat, and installed with no acclimation period. The full bond is what keeps the floor solid under rolling chairs and heavy furniture.
The colors run warm from end to end. Fallonton and Scandi stay pale and quiet, Bayhill Blonde, Bayside Buff, and Selbourne sit comfortably in the middle, Akadia and Hyde Haven bring more figure, and Hatfield carries the most rustic character in the group.
Twelve mil covers kitchens, main hallways, family rooms, and offices with desk chairs. For light commercial use or a house where the same floor runs everywhere, Nove Reserve takes the identical palette to a 2.5mm build with a 22 mil layer.
Tan · Nove Plus
Akadia
Bold figure with the wear layer for a room in daily use.
Akadia in Nove Plus puts the same ink-dark marking on a 12 mil surface, which is the version to reach for when the room with the interesting floor is also the room everyone walks through. Pattern this strong absorbs scuffs and dropped crumbs, so the visual interest pays for itself. Give it plain walls and simple rugs and the planks handle the rest.
Pairs Well With
Warm white walls, black metal accents, natural cane furniture, terracotta and clay tones, collected eclectic styling.
Best For
Busy family rooms, eclectic kitchens, active home studios, character-forward rentals, conversation-starting entryways.
Tan · Nove Plus
Hyde Haven
Amber warmth with the wear layer for a full-time room.
Hyde Haven warms a room without going orange, which is what makes it work in traditional kitchens and dining rooms where the cabinetry already runs cream or stained. The broad arched figure keeps a large floor from looking repetitive down its length. At 12 mil it takes the chair movement and foot traffic those rooms actually see.
Pairs Well With
Cream and camel walls, aged brass fixtures, stained wood built-ins, rust and forest-green accents, classic layered styling.
Best For
High-use living rooms, traditional kitchens, family dining spaces, active households, warm whole-home installs.
Blonde · Nove Plus
Bayhill Blonde
A warm neutral built for main-floor traffic.
The plank-to-plank movement in Bayhill Blonde stays gentle enough for long open runs, where a high-contrast floor can start to feel choppy. Twelve mil of wear layer puts it comfortably in a main hallway or a family bedroom rather than a spare room only. It keeps company easily with cream walls and light wood, and it pushes the room neither warm nor cool.
Pairs Well With
Cream and ivory walls, light wood furniture, satin nickel fixtures, warm gray upholstery, layered natural textures.
Best For
Main-floor living rooms, busy hallways, family bedrooms, mid-term rental properties, warm casual interiors.
Blonde · Nove Plus
Bayside Buff
Tight, even grain that stays tidy under chairs and traffic.
The straight figure holds up visually in a kitchen or an office, where the floor is read in short stretches between cabinetry and furniture. The 12 mil surface is the practical part: desk chairs and dining chairs cross it every day and the room keeps looking fresh. It sits well under two-tone cabinets, where a busier floor would make the space feel crowded.
Pairs Well With
Two-tone cabinetry, brass or matte black hardware, warm quartz counters, olive and cream walls, tailored transitional furnishings.
Best For
Hardworking kitchens, home offices with desk chairs, dining areas, long hallways, family-traffic zones.
Blonde · Nove Plus
Fallonton
Bright and calm, with more surface to give.
Fallonton keeps a room feeling open, and in the Nove Plus tier it can take that job in a main-floor kitchen or living room rather than a quiet corner. The character lines stay subtle, so the floor runs continuous across a large open plan instead of breaking into visible plank shapes. Set it against white trim and pale walls and the room reads bright without turning cold.
Pairs Well With
White and pale gray walls, weathered oak furniture, polished nickel fixtures, striped cotton textiles, breezy coastal styling.
Best For
Bright open kitchens, coastal living rooms, main-floor baths with dry zones, light-filled offices, family-friendly rentals.
Honey · Nove Plus
Scandi
An even, modern warm tone for rooms that get used.
Scandi's uniformity is the point: it lets furniture, art, and rugs carry the room while the floor stays quiet underneath. The 12 mil surface takes that idea into a family room or a home office rather than a bedroom only. It reads warm against white walls and holds that warmth without tipping yellow in afternoon light.
Pairs Well With
Bright white walls, blonde wood furniture, soft gray upholstery, matte black fixtures, restrained modern decor.
Best For
Modern family rooms, everyday kitchens, work-from-home offices, light-filled apartments, Japandi-style interiors.
Honey · Nove Plus
Selbourne
Limed texture that holds up in the middle of the house.
Selbourne keeps visible texture in the grain, which matters in open-plan rooms where a completely flat color has a lot of square footage to fill. The 12 mil surface suits an entry or a working kitchen, where that same texture quietly absorbs everyday marks. It stays neutral enough to work with greige walls now and something else in five years.
Pairs Well With
Greige and soft white walls, brushed gold hardware, natural oak shelving, ivory boucle seating, calm layered neutrals.
Best For
Open-concept main floors, welcoming entryways, family bedrooms, busy casual kitchens, warm modern rentals.
Brown · Nove Plus
Hatfield
Rustic character that shrugs off a busy household.
Between the lime-washed surface and the knots, Hatfield is the Nove Plus color that asks the least of you day to day. Grit tracked in from a mudroom, pet hair, and the general debris of a full house all read as part of the floor. The warm brown gives cream walls and leather something to sit against.
Pairs Well With
Warm plaster walls, iron and bronze hardware, worn leather furniture, plaid and canvas textiles, reclaimed wood shelving.
Best For
Mudroom-adjacent family rooms, farmhouse kitchens, busy dens, pet-friendly households, rustic-style rentals.

What size are Nove Plus planks?
Every Nove Plus color is 9 inches by 48 inches, at 54 square feet per box, the same format as Nove and Nove Reserve.
How is Nove Plus installed?
Nove Plus is a full-spread glue-down dryback plank with no acclimation period. Flatten, clean, and dry the subfloor first. The full bond is what keeps the floor solid underfoot and stable under heavy furniture.
Which Nove Plus color is best for a bright room?
Fallonton is the palest, with Scandi next in a warmer register. Both hold a bright open plan together without going stark. Look at samples in the room's own light, since a pale floor shifts noticeably between morning and afternoon.
How do I choose between the Nove Plus colors?
Bayside Buff and Scandi stay quiet under furniture and suit kitchens and offices. Bayhill Blonde, Fallonton, and Selbourne sit in the middle for open-plan rooms. Hyde Haven and Hatfield bring warmth and character to busy family spaces, and Akadia is the one that makes the floor the feature.
