Romer Iris reads as a cool smoky lilac-grey, with a fine damask outline that gives the surface quiet movement.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% polyester, Romer Iris is a drapes-only fabric with a 140cm width and a 24cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeat. The small-scale damask sits close to the cloth, creating a subtle raised line effect rather than a bold contrast motif. In this colourway, the grey base carries a soft lilac cast, so the design feels cool, refined and gently tonal. At 336 grams per linear metre and 240 grams per square metre, it has enough substance for elegant window dressing without reading heavy or overworked.

How to use it

Use Romer Iris for tailored curtains or Roman blinds where the smoky lilac-grey tone can soften a room with timber, pale stone or brushed metal. It works especially well in schemes that need pattern, but only in a restrained, low-contrast way.

A cool, understated damask that brings quiet texture to tailored curtains.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Romer Iris without fighting it. 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.
