Linara Zinc

Name: Linara Zinc
Brand: Romo

Linara Zinc has a softly muted taupe-grey appearance, with a fine woven texture visible across the surface. Its cool, slightly dusty tone gives the plain cloth gentle depth rather than a flat block of colour.

About this fabric

The surface is an even plain weave with a delicate crosshatch effect, created by the fine light and dark threads visible in the swatch. Zinc reads as a balanced shade between cool grey and understated taupe, with a subtly warm cast that prevents it feeling stark. The close, regular texture gives the fabric a relaxed presence while retaining a neat, tailored look. As a versatile mid-weight-looking textile, it can be considered for both upholstery and drapery applications.

How to use it

Use this cool taupe-grey colourway on a relaxed sofa, occasional chair or full-length curtains where it can soften stronger architectural lines. Pair it with chalky whites, pale timber and muted blue-grey accents to bring out its quiet coolness.

A quiet cool taupe-grey weave that pairs easily with pale woods, chalky neutrals and soft grey accents.

Pairs well with

Linara Zinc 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.
