About this fabric

The image shows a plain textile with a delicate, regular weave rather than a printed motif or pronounced pattern. Marlin’s mid-blue colour sits between denim and dusty slate, giving it a calm, gently weathered character instead of a bright or saturated look. Subtle variations in the woven surface catch the light without creating sheen, keeping the overall impression tactile and relaxed. This is a fabric from Romo’s Linara collection; no further specification data is supplied for this exact colourway.

How to use it

Use Marlin to introduce a cool, softened blue on an upholstered chair, sofa or relaxed curtain, pairing it with chalky whites, warm timber and natural neutrals. Its quiet texture also works well where a room needs colour without a strong pattern.

A calm, finely woven blue cloth that brings gentle colour and quiet texture to upholstery or drapery.

Pairs well with

Linara Marlin 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.
