Sula Thunder

Name: Sula Thunder
Brand: Romo

Sula Thunder is a close, finely textured weave with a cool taupe-grey ground and softly mottled surface. Its restrained colour and tiny irregular yarn detail give the swatch a quietly urban character.

About this fabric

The surface is formed from tightly packed horizontal and vertical yarns, creating a small-scale woven texture rather than a printed pattern. Charcoal, grey and muted taupe threads blend across the face, producing a depth that shifts subtly as the light catches the weave. The cloth reads as substantial and upholstery-oriented from the dense visible construction, while no composition, width or performance specification has been supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use Sula Thunder on a sofa, armchair or dining seat where its cool taupe-grey tone can sit comfortably with charcoal, stone, aged timber and brushed metal. Its low-contrast texture is especially effective alongside plain cushions in warmer taupe or soft grey.

A cool, quietly variegated taupe-grey weave that brings subtle depth to upholstered seating without introducing a bold motif.

Pairs well with

Sula Thunder 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.
