The Nove Palette at Light-Commercial Specification
Nove Reserve is the top tier of the Nove family. Same 8 colors, same extra-wide 9 by 48 inch plank, stepped up to a 2.5mm build with a 22 mil CrystaLux wear layer. That is a light-commercial specification, which is what makes it the tier to write into a whole-home project or a boutique, studio, or office floor.
The extra half millimeter of build is noticeable underfoot, and the 22 mil surface is the part that matters over time in rooms with rolling chairs, pets, and constant traffic. It is waterproof throughout, rated for radiant heat, and installs with no acclimation period.
The palette is unchanged from Nove and Nove Plus, which is the useful part: Fallonton and Scandi for calm, Bayhill Blonde, Bayside Buff, and Selbourne through the middle, Akadia and Hyde Haven with more figure, and Hatfield for reclaimed character.
If the floor only needs to serve bedrooms or a turnover, Nove at 6 mil or Nove Plus at 12 mil carries the same look for less. Reserve is the tier to specify when the same floor has to run through every room in the plan.
Tan · Nove Reserve
Akadia
The statement plank, specified for real traffic.
Akadia in Nove Reserve is the version to specify when the floor is meant to be looked at and walked on all day: a boutique space, a studio with clients coming through, an entry that sets the tone for the house. The 22 mil surface is a light-commercial specification, and the 2.5mm build gives the plank more substance underfoot. Keep the surrounding finishes plain so the mineral figure stays the thing people notice.
Pairs Well With
Gallery-white walls, blackened steel accents, sculptural lighting, natural cane and rattan, curated modern styling.
Best For
Design-forward living rooms, boutique retail floors, home studios with client traffic, statement entries, high-traffic creative spaces.
Tan · Nove Reserve
Hyde Haven
Deep golden oak for rooms meant to last.
Hyde Haven's arched figure and depth of color give a large room a sense of permanence, which is why it suits libraries, formal living rooms, and whole-home projects. The 22 mil surface means the same floor can carry straight into the kitchen without a change of material at the threshold. It holds dark stained built-ins and jewel-toned upholstery comfortably.
Pairs Well With
Cream and camel walls, antique brass lighting, dark stained accents, jewel-toned upholstery, rich traditional layering.
Best For
Grand living rooms, busy traditional kitchens, home libraries, multi-generational households, premium whole-home projects.
Blonde · Nove Reserve
Bayhill Blonde
Warm, graceful, and rated for the whole house.
Bayhill Blonde carries its light and shadow gently, which is what lets it run through an entire floor plan without any one room reading differently from the next. In the Reserve tier that continuity extends into kitchens, entries, and small offices as well. The warmth suits brass, honey-toned wood, and plush neutral rugs.
Pairs Well With
Ivory and warm white walls, aged brass fixtures, honey-toned furniture, plush neutral rugs, softly layered interiors.
Best For
Main living areas, busy open kitchens, small offices and waiting rooms, upscale rentals, whole-home installs.
Blonde · Nove Reserve
Bayside Buff
Select-grade evenness with a commercial-grade surface.
The disciplined, tightly spaced figure gives Bayside Buff a finished look that rewards close inspection in a dining room or a client-facing office. That precision is the reason to choose it over the more varied colors in the lineup. The 22 mil surface takes rolling chairs and daily chair movement in stride.
Pairs Well With
Painted shaker cabinetry, unlacquered brass hardware, warm stone counters, cream and olive walls, tailored classic furnishings.
Best For
High-traffic kitchens, professional home offices, dining rooms in daily use, light commercial suites, polished family homes.
Blonde · Nove Reserve
Fallonton
Bright coastal calm at the top of the Nove range.
Fallonton keeps large sunlit rooms feeling open rather than washed out, because the fine character marks give the eye something to hold onto. In the Reserve build it suits a great room or a busy light-filled office where the floor needs to keep its finish. It pairs cleanly with white millwork and pale blues.
Pairs Well With
Crisp white millwork, pale blue accents, whitewashed furniture, polished chrome fixtures, breezy linen textiles.
Best For
Sunlit great rooms, coastal kitchens, boutique guest suites, busy light-filled offices, premium rental properties.
Honey · Nove Reserve
Scandi
Serene and even, specified for daily use.
Scandi in Nove Reserve holds a calm, uniform tone across a large floor, which is what pared-back rooms want from a floor: consistency rather than incident. The 22 mil surface lets that restraint survive a design office or an apartment in constant use. It reads warm against pure white walls and matte black fixtures.
Pairs Well With
Pure white walls, blonde wood cabinetry, matte black fixtures, soft wool textiles, precise minimalist styling.
Best For
Modern great rooms, design-led offices, upscale apartments, minimalist kitchens, boutique commercial studios.
Honey · Nove Reserve
Selbourne
Fine limed detail with the surface to match.
The limed highlights give Selbourne a hand-finished quality that reads well in a foyer or a primary suite, where the floor gets looked at from close range. The 22 mil wear layer keeps that detail crisp under traffic in exactly those rooms. It sits quietly with greige walls, brushed gold, and cream textiles.
Pairs Well With
Soft greige walls, brushed gold hardware, natural oak furniture, cream boucle and linen, quietly luxurious styling.
Best For
Elevated open-plan living, welcoming foyers, upscale kitchens, serene primary suites, premium rental portfolios.
Brown · Nove Reserve
Hatfield
Reclaimed character with a light-commercial surface.
Hatfield's knots and weathering make it the most forgiving color in the Nove range for a room that takes a beating, and the 22 mil surface backs that up. It works in a restaurant-style kitchen or a hardworking family hub where a smoother floor would want replacing sooner. The warm brown sits well with plaster walls, iron, and saddle leather.
Pairs Well With
Plaster and cream walls, wrought iron fixtures, saddle leather seating, chunky wool textiles, salvaged wood features.
Best For
Restaurant-style kitchens, rustic commercial spaces, hardworking family hubs, farmhouse renovations, high-traffic entries.

Nove Reserve FAQ
The questions homeowners and designers ask when comparing the Nove Reserve colors and specifications.
What is MSI Everlife Nove Reserve?
Nove Reserve is the top tier of the Nove family: the same 8 colors and the same extra-wide 9 by 48 inch dryback plank, on a thicker 2.5mm build with a 22 mil CrystaLux wear layer. That is a light-commercial specification.
How does Nove Reserve compare with Nove and Nove Plus?
The palette and the plank size are identical across all three. Nove is 2mm with 6 mil, Nove Plus is 2mm with 12 mil, and Nove Reserve is 2.5mm with 22 mil. Reserve is the tier to specify when one floor has to run through every room in the plan, or into a light commercial space.
Is MSI Everlife Nove Reserve waterproof?
Yes, the plank is 100% waterproof and rated for radiant heat. It is glued directly to the subfloor, so the substrate needs to be flat, clean, dry, and properly prepared first.
What is the wear layer on Nove Reserve?
Nove Reserve carries a 22 mil CrystaLux wear layer above the printed design. Twenty-two mil is a commercial-grade specification, suited to rolling chairs, pets, boutique and studio floors, and homes where the same floor runs continuously.
What size are Nove Reserve planks?
Every Nove Reserve color is 9 inches by 48 inches, at 48 square feet per box. The 2.5mm build is half a millimetre thicker than Nove and Nove Plus, which is noticeable underfoot.
How is Nove Reserve installed?
Nove Reserve is a full-spread glue-down dryback plank with no acclimation period. Prepare the subfloor flat, clean, and dry before the adhesive goes down. The full bond is what lets a glue-down floor take constant traffic without movement.
Which Nove Reserve color is best for a bright room?
Fallonton is the palest and holds a large sunlit room open without washing out, because its fine character marks give the eye something to settle on. Scandi is the warmer alternative. Compare samples in the room's own light.
How do I choose between the Nove Reserve colors?
Bayside Buff and Scandi read precise and finished, which suits client-facing rooms. Bayhill Blonde, Fallonton, and Selbourne carry a whole floor plan comfortably. Hyde Haven and Hatfield handle the busiest and most character-driven rooms, and Akadia is the statement floor in the range.
