Linara Ostrich

Name: Linara Ostrich
Brand: Romo

Linara Ostrich has a very pale warm-grey appearance, close to soft ivory in the strongest areas of the swatch. Its restrained surface is defined by a fine, even weave rather than a printed motif.

About this fabric

The cloth shows a compact plain weave with a delicate crosshatched texture that becomes clearer towards the centre of the image. Its low-contrast ostrich shade sits between off-white and light grey, giving the surface a gentle warmth rather than a cool, stark finish. The even construction reads as suitably versatile for both upholstery and drapery. No performance features are noted for this fabric, so its appeal here is its quiet colour and finely textured surface.

How to use it

Use this pale warm grey as a light neutral on an upholstered chair, sofa or headboard, or carry it into relaxed curtains where its subtle weave can soften brighter whites. Pair it with chalk, oatmeal, pale timber and muted taupe for a calm tonal scheme.

Its softly warm grey tone and barely visible weave bring a calm, understated finish to upholstery, cushions, curtains or blinds.

Linara Ostrich 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.
