Romo Ticking Blue

Weave Fabric

Romo Ticking Blue combines a warm ivory ground with closely spaced vertical ticking stripes in a softened denim blue. Its lightly pebbled weave gives the colourway a tactile, quietly rustic character.

About this fabric

The narrow stripes are formed from irregular blue threads, so the pattern has more depth than a flat printed line. The cool blue is muted rather than saturated, sitting gently against the creamy ivory ground and changing subtly as the textured surface catches the light. A visibly substantial, mid-weight weave makes this fabric suitable for both upholstery and drapery. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Ticking Blue on relaxed armchairs, bench cushions or full-length curtains, balancing its cool denim stripes with ivory linen, pale oak and softly weathered finishes.

Pair the cool blue ticking stripes with warm ivory, natural timber and relaxed upholstery or window treatments.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Romo Ticking Blue without fighting it. 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.
