Linara Auricula

Name: Linara Auricula
Brand: Romo

Linara Auricula appears as a softly muted lilac plain, with a subtle mauve cast that shifts gently across the swatch. Its closely woven surface gives the colour a quiet tactile depth rather than a flat, printed look.

About this fabric

Catalogued as a Fabric, Auricula has an even, fine weave visible across the surface, with tiny variations that soften its pale purple tone. The colour sits between dusty lilac and cool mauve, reading gentle and slightly smoky rather than bright or saturated. Its versatile mid-weight appearance makes it suitable for both upholstery and drapery. Viewed closely, the restrained texture adds depth while keeping the overall effect calm and uncluttered.

How to use it

Use this dusty lilac-mauve on a relaxed armchair, headboard or full-length curtains, balancing it with chalky neutrals and pale natural wood. Its cool, softened tone also works well beside warm taupe or aged brass for a more nuanced contrast.

Pair this softly muted lilac plain with warm whites, pale timber and brushed metal for a calm, quietly layered scheme.

Linara Auricula 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.
