Kemble Oxford Blue

Name: Kemble Oxford Blue
Brand: Romo

Kemble Oxford Blue from Romo is a large-scale check woven in cool blue, pale blue-grey and soft white. Its gently textured surface gives the pattern a relaxed, tactile character rather than a sharp printed finish.

About this fabric

Broad vertical and horizontal bands form an oversized gingham check, with the overlapping squares creating deeper Oxford blue accents against lighter blue-grey and white. The colourway feels cool and muted, with enough tonal variation to keep the regular grid from appearing flat. Fine visible striations across the surface suggest a woven textile with a subtle natural texture. No composition, width or performance specification has been supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use the cool blue-and-white check on a relaxed armchair, bench or loose cushion, pairing it with chalky whites and pale blue-grey plains. Its orderly large-scale grid can also bring a fresh, informal rhythm to simple curtains or blinds.

A cool, softly textured check that suits relaxed upholstery, cushions and easy drapery schemes.

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