Romney British Wool Blue Lilac

Romney Fabric001

Romney British Wool Blue Lilac is a quiet, cool-toned plain weave with a blue-grey base softened by a gentle lilac cast. Its fine surface texture gives the solid colour subtle depth rather than a flat finish.

About this fabric

Woven from 100% Romney Wool, this 137cm-wide fabric has a softly grainy appearance that is visible across the even blue-lilac surface. The colour reads muted and slightly smoky, balancing blue coolness with a restrained purple warmth as the light moves across the weave. Rated for Contract and General Domestic use, it is specified for curtains and fixed upholstery. After-care is dry clean.

How to use it

Pair this cool blue-lilac with chalky whites, pale grey or weathered timber for a calm, airy scheme, or use it against deeper navy and plum accents to draw out its subtle purple undertone. Its plain texture works well on tailored upholstery and full-length curtains.

Use this cool, muted blue-lilac plain weave to bring quiet colour and tactile depth to upholstery or curtains.

Romney British Wool Blue Lilac is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
