Romo Fabrics: Collection and Buying Guide

Choose the right Romo fabric for made-to-measure curtains or Roman blinds, from Linara plains to Romo prints, stripes, weaves and embroideries.

British Made Interiors19 July 2026

If you are choosing Romo fabric for a design-led room, start with Romo Linara when you want a versatile plain for made-to-measure curtains or Roman blinds. Move to Aubin, Elson, Okero, Ottavia, Toulin or Arturo when the room needs print, stripe, weave, embroidery or decorative texture.^[1]

For curtains, start with our Romo made-to-measure curtains. For Roman blinds, use our Romo range to explore current Romo options. Before you order, check live availability and sample the fabric, because Romo notes that buyers should use samples to see actual colour and feel.^[2]

Key Takeaways

Linara is the first shortlist for a calm, flexible Romo plain, especially if you have not yet chosen between curtains and Roman blinds.
Retailer evidence describes Romo Linara as versatile and available in over 360 colours^[3], but exact colour choice can vary by seller and stock.
Use Romo’s decorative collections when the scheme needs a clear design lead: Aubin for small-scale prints, Elson for stripes, Okero for textured weaves, Ottavia for decorative prints, weaves and embroideries, Toulin for printed Linara, and Arturo for decorative weaves.^[1]
Order a sample before committing. British Made Interiors lists a Linara Silver Birch sample from £1.30^[4], but that is product-specific starting-price evidence, not a promise for every Romo fabric or delivery option.

What Romo Fabrics Offers: Plains, Prints, Stripes, Weaves and Embroideries

Think of Romo as a set of style options, not one single fabric choice. Romo lists Linara beside collections such as Aubin, Elson, Okero, Ottavia, Toulin and Arturo, so your first decision is whether the room needs a quiet plain or a stronger surface design.^[1]

If your sitting room already has patterned wallpaper, an oak floor and art you want to keep, Linara can act as the calm layer. If the window is the main feature, compare decorative options instead. Aubin should be treated as a small-scale print option when a plain feels too understated; Elson brings stripe; Okero adds textured weave; Ottavia adds decorative prints, weaves and embroidery; Toulin gives printed Linara; and Arturo sits in decorative weaves.^[1]

Romo says its in-house studio develops designs and colour palettes with cohesive schemes in mind, with collections launched through a worldwide network.^[5] That supports a design-first comparison, but it does not prove that every collection is right for every room, window size or made-to-measure format. Use the collection name to narrow the look, then use our Romo pages to check the current fabric options.

Why Romo Linara Is the Best Starting Point for a Plain Fabric Shortlist

Romo Linara is the best starting fabric when you want a versatile plain, because Romo describes Linara as a washable linen union with a cotton-linen blend, brushed finish and soft peach-skin feel.^[6] It is a useful first shortlist for a room where you want colour, texture and softness without a strong repeat pattern.

Linara is also well supported by buyer evidence. One retailer describes it as versatile and available in over 360 colours^[3]; another retailer page repeats that broad colour-range claim, so treat it as a helpful sign of range while still checking live stock and shade availability.^[7] If you are planning a linen-look scheme across curtains, blinds and cushions, our piece on decorating with linen can help you think about the wider room palette.

The limit is simple: do not choose Linara just because it is the safest first step. If the window needs a stripe to add height, a print to lift a plain wall, or a weave to bring depth, compare the decorative Romo collections before you decide.

Romo Fabric for Made-to-Measure Curtains

Romo Made To Measure Curtains — Illustrative Romo made-to-measure curtain context from British Made Interiors; use it as room and product context, not as proof of fabric quality, performance or typical results.

Choose Romo for curtains when you want the fabric to frame the room: full-length living room curtains, bedroom curtains with a softer drop, or a plain fabric that lets a heading style do the detail. British Made Interiors lists Linara Silver Birch as part of its British made-to-measure curtains range, designed by Romo and made from 63% cotton and 37% linen, with curtain heading choices shown on the product page.^[4]

That does not mean every Romo collection has the same composition, width, price or heading mix. It means Linara Silver Birch is a concrete example of how a Romo fabric can be ordered as a made-to-measure curtain through British Made Interiors. If you are still weighing drop, stack back and fabric quantity, our curtain fabric tips are a useful next read.

In a Trustpilot review, Consumer described spending considerable time researching made-to-measure curtains online and valued the website, fabric choice, ordering flow, heading options and transparent pricing. Treat this as one buyer’s example, not proof of a typical result; use it as a reminder to check the full order path before you commit.^[8]

Romo Fabric for Roman Blinds

Choose Romo as a Roman blind when the window needs a neater finish than curtains, or where fabric folds will become part of the design. British Made Interiors lists Linara Bison as a made-to-measure Roman blind from the Linara collection, with choices such as inside or outside recess and standard or cascade style.^[9] Linara Soft is also listed as part of the Romo Roman blind range, made from 63% Cotton and 37% Linen.^[10]

Keep the choice practical. A standard Roman blind gives even folds. A cascade Roman blind has increasingly larger folds^[11], which can suit larger windows or a bolder fabric. For bedrooms, British Made Interiors says blackout lining is useful where allowing less light to enter is beneficial, and describes it as three layers of fabric bonded together to block out intrusive light^[11]. This supports reduced light, not an absolute promise of darkness.

Pattern also matters. British Made Interiors says it pattern match all roman blinds from the top as standard^[11]. For inside-recess fitting, British Made Interiors states it removes 1cm^[12] from the blind width. Use our measuring guides for the practical measuring step rather than guessing.

In a Trustpilot review, LouLaugh described calling British Made Interiors before ordering slender, long blinds for French doors, because pattern matching, fabric use and cost needed care. The practical lesson is to discuss side-by-side blinds before ordering, especially when the proportions are unusual.^[13]

How to Choose the Right Romo Fabric Before Ordering

Start with the room, not the fabric name. Ask whether the window should blend in, add colour, add movement or become the main feature. Homes & Gardens quotes Debbie Leigh of iLiv saying curtains do not need to match exactly, but should coordinate with the room’s colour, pattern, texture and style.^[14] That is the right test for Romo too.

Next, choose the fabric direction. Pick Linara when you want a plain with softness and a broad shade choice. Move to Aubin, Elson, Okero, Ottavia, Toulin or Arturo when the room needs a visible design cue.^[1] Then choose the format: curtains for a fuller, softer frame; Roman blinds for a tailored finish where folds, lining and pattern position matter.

Finally, sample before you order. Romo says it is trade only and that customers can buy through selected retailers and interior designers; it also recommends samples so you can view the actual colour and feel the texture.^[2] British Made Interiors gives product-specific sample evidence for Linara Silver Birch from £1.30^[4]. Treat that as a useful check, not a universal Romo sample price.

A safer way to choose is to shortlist by style, check current availability with us, order samples, then confirm the made-to-measure format. That sequence protects the look of the room and reduces the risk of committing to the wrong fabric before you have seen it in your own light.

FAQ

Is Romo Linara suitable for both curtains and Roman blinds?

Yes, Linara is a strong first shortlist for both formats when you want a versatile plain. British Made Interiors has Linara examples in curtain and Roman blind formats, but you should still check the exact product options before ordering.^[4]^[9]

Which Romo collection should I choose if I want a patterned fabric?

Compare Romo's decorative collections rather than choosing Linara by default. Aubin is the small-scale print option, while Ottavia and Toulin are useful comparisons if you want more visible print or decorative interest.^[1]

Can I buy Romo fabric directly from Romo?

Romo says it is a trade only company and that customers can buy through selected retailers and interior designers.^[2] For a British Made Interiors order, use our Romo pages to check current made-to-measure curtain and blind options.

Should I check a Romo sample before ordering made-to-measure curtains or blinds?

Yes. A sample lets you judge the colour, texture and pattern in your own room before you commit to a made-to-measure order. Sample price and availability can be product-specific, so check the live product page.
