Kemble French Blue

Name: Kemble French Blue
Brand: Romo

Kemble French Blue presents a neat, medium-scale check in pale, cool blue and soft ivory. Its lightly textured woven surface gives the colourway a calm, softly weathered appearance rather than a bright or high-contrast finish.

About this fabric

The alternating blue and ivory squares create a clear gingham-style grid, while the subtly irregular surface keeps the pattern from feeling overly crisp. French blue reads as muted and cool in this colourway, with a gentle greyed quality that softens the contrast against the ivory checks. The visible weave gives the cloth quiet depth and helps the broad check feel relaxed and tactile. No further specification data is supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use this pale French blue check on an occasional chair, bench or relaxed curtain to introduce pattern without overwhelming a room. Pair it with chalky whites, light timber and soft grey-blue accents to echo its cool, understated tone.

A softly textured blue-and-ivory check for relaxed upholstery, curtains or blinds.

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