Elmer Storm

Name: Elmer Storm
Brand: Romo

Elmer Storm is a cool, restrained colourway built from closely spaced storm-grey and white checks. The regular pattern has a clean rhythm, while the subtle surface variation keeps it from appearing stark.

About this fabric

The small-scale check alternates cool storm-grey with soft white, creating a gently contrasted pattern that reads more muted than graphic. Fine vertical and horizontal lines give the swatch a neat, evenly balanced appearance, with slight tonal variation across the surface. Its flat, textile-like handle and compact repeat make it visually versatile for both upholstery and drapery. No performance features or further specification data are supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Pair Elmer Storm with chalky whites, pale timber and blue-grey accents for a calm, tailored scheme. Its cool grey depth also works well as a quiet check on a reading chair, bench cushion or relaxed curtain.

Use the cool storm-grey check to bring a crisp, quiet rhythm to upholstery, cushions or softly tailored curtains.

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.
