About this fabric

Woven in 100% cotton, Roma Silex has a subtle vertical stripe with an approximate 1cm horizontal repeat and no vertical repeat, creating a neat, continuous rhythm across the cloth. The colourway reads as a mellow taupe with cool-grey undertones, so the stripe detail is visible without feeling sharp or high contrast. Its surface appears smooth and lightly textured rather than bulky, which keeps the design refined and versatile. With an approximate width of 140cm and fire code √BM, it is a practical choice for schemes that need a tailored decorative fabric in a restrained neutral.

How to use it

Use this taupe stripe on upholstered chairs, banquettes, or cushions where you want a smart but understated finish. It also works well as a drapery in calm, neutral rooms, especially alongside linen, oak, and dark bronze details.

Its muted taupe tone and fine vertical stripe make it an easy, tailored coordinate for classic interiors.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Roma Silex 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.
