About this fabric

This Romo fabric is woven in a soft basalt grey, with a subtle beige cast that prevents the shade from appearing stark or blue. A tiny, closely repeated weave creates gentle peppering across the surface, while faint vertical shifts add understated depth. The fabric is catalogued as Fabric, with no performance features noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Pair Kensey Basalt with chalk, putty and warm timber for a quiet, layered scheme, or use it against darker charcoal accents to bring out its pale grey tone. Its small-scale weave is suited to restrained upholstery and softly tailored window treatments.

A pale warm-grey micro-weave that brings quiet texture to upholstery, curtains and blinds.

Pairs well with

Kensey Basalt 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.
