Romo Ticking Black

Name: Romo Ticking Black
Brand: Swaffer

Weave Fabric

Romo Ticking Black pairs an ivory-cream ground with closely spaced black vertical striping. In the swatch, the dark stripes have a tactile, pointillist edge that keeps the contrast textile-led rather than starkly graphic.

About this fabric

The image shows a tightly packed vertical ticking stripe, with narrow black bands set against alternating cream sections. At close range, the surface reads as a compact woven grid, giving the near-black marks softly broken edges rather than the perfectly solid appearance of a flat print. No composition, width, rub-test or performance data has been supplied for this exact fabric, so suitability should be confirmed against the intended application.

How to use it

Use the high-contrast black-and-cream stripe to give a chair, blind or pair of curtains a tailored, graphic finish. Its warm cream ground can soften the severity of the black while preserving a clean monochrome effect.

The crisp black-and-cream ticking stripe brings tailored contrast to upholstery, curtains or cushions.

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.
