Linara Elephant

Linara Elephant appears as a cool, pale grey plain weave, with a closely packed surface that gives the swatch a subtle textile grain. Its even tone is gently enlivened by the fine crossing of the threads rather than by any printed motif.

About this fabric

This is a plain fabric from Romo's Linara collection, shown here in a restrained elephant grey with a slightly cool cast. The close-up reveals a fine, regular weave and a lightly tactile surface, while the soft grey tone remains consistent across the swatch. The colour has enough depth to avoid looking stark, but stays pale and understated in the light. No composition, width or performance figures are supplied for this exact fabric in the catalogue information provided.

How to use it

Use Elephant grey to upholster a relaxed armchair, sofa or bench where its quiet woven texture can soften stronger architectural lines. It also works as a calm drapery colour alongside chalky whites, stone shades and muted blue-grey accents.

A calm, finely woven grey that brings soft texture and quiet neutrality to upholstery or window treatments.

Pairs well with

Linara Elephant 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.
