Olavi Gris

Name: Olavi Gris
Brand: Romo

Olavi Gris is a cool, pale grey fabric with a fine woven surface that reads softly mottled rather than completely flat. Its restrained tonal variation gives the swatch a calm, quietly textured character.

About this fabric

The close weave combines pale and slightly deeper grey threads, creating a delicate flecked effect across the surface. Light catches the tiny textural variations without producing a strong sheen, keeping the colour cool and understated. The supplied record lists no performance features for this fabric; its appeal here comes from the subtle depth and tactile-looking weave visible in the swatch.

How to use it

Use Olavi Gris where a cool pale-grey note is wanted without a stark, solid block of colour. Its fine tonal texture would sit neatly on a softly tailored chair, sofa or window treatment alongside white, charcoal and muted blue-grey accents.

The cool pale-grey tone and fine flecked weave bring quiet texture to upholstery, curtains and blinds.

Pairs well with

Olavi Gris 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.
