Helio Shell

Name: Helio Shell
Brand: Romo

Helio Shell presents a very pale shell-grey ground with delicate vertical striations running through the cloth. Its low-contrast texture gives the surface a quiet, softly linear character.

About this fabric

The image shows a cool, pale grey softened by a subtle shell-toned warmth, with fine vertical lines that shift gently across the surface rather than forming a bold stripe. The close woven texture catches the light lightly, creating faint tonal variation while keeping the overall appearance airy and restrained. No further composition, width or performance specification is supplied for this fabric, so its suitability here is judged from its fine, drapery-like appearance.

How to use it

Use Helio Shell for full-length curtains where its pale shell-grey tone can brighten a room without introducing a stark white contrast. Pair it with chalky neutrals, pale timber and softly brushed metal for a calm, tailored scheme.

A pale, finely striated neutral for softly tailored curtains and understated window treatments.

Helio Shell 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.
