Kemble Magnesium

Name: Kemble Magnesium
Brand: Romo

Kemble Magnesium is a cool, quiet check formed from alternating grey and soft off-white squares. Its lightly textured woven surface gives the pattern a gentle tonal softness rather than a sharp graphic contrast.

About this fabric

The design is a regular medium-scale check, with cool grey blocks alternating against pale ivory squares in a balanced grid. Fine visible yarn variation softens the edges of the checks and gives the surface a subtle, fabric-led depth. The colourway reads fresh and restrained, with the grey bringing a slightly architectural note to the warm lightness of the off-white. No performance features or further specification data are supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Pair Kemble Magnesium with chalky whites, pale timber and brushed metal for a calm, contemporary room, or use it to give a plain neutral sofa a more defined checked character. Its cool grey tone also works well with muted blue or soft sage accents.

Use the cool grey-and-ivory check to bring an easy, tailored rhythm to seating, blinds or curtains.

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