Romo Fabrics: Collection and Buying Guide

Q: Is Romo Linara the best Romo fabric for every room?

No. Romo Linara is the strongest named starting point for a versatile plain, but Romo also separates collections into prints, stripes, weaves, linens, satin and other roles.

Choose Romo Linara, Aubin or another Romo fabric for made-to-measure curtains or Roman blinds with practical sample, lining and style checks.

British Made Interiors18 July 2026

Start with Romo Linara if your room needs a soft, versatile plain. Choose Aubin or another decorative Romo collection when the scheme needs pattern, then order samples before you commit. For curtains, view our Romo made-to-measure curtains; for Roman blinds, start with our Romo brand page and check the blind details before ordering.

For most design-led home projects, Romo Linara is the safest named starting point because Romo describes it as a washable linen union and it is available in made-to-measure curtain and Roman blind contexts.^[2] If the room needs a decorative small-scale print, treat Romo Aubin as a style direction and check the exact fabric details first.^[1]

Key Takeaways

Choose by collection role first: plain, print, stripe, weave, linen or satin.
Use Romo Linara when you want a calm, adaptable plain with cotton-linen character.
Use Aubin as the supported small-scale-print direction, not as a fully reviewed performance verdict.
Order samples before finalising shade, texture or pattern scale; one Linara Silver Birch sample is listed from just £1.30^[3], with final sample cost depending on the exact fabric or product page.
Pick the finished format early: curtains need heading and lining choices; Roman blinds need lining, track-depth and fabric-use checks.

What Romo Fabrics offers across its collections

Romo is best read as a set of design roles, not one single fabric answer. Its collections page groups fabrics by type and look, including Aubin as small scale prints, Elson as decorative stripes, Okero as textured weaves, Iseo as wide-width linens, Kylo as wide-width satin and Linara as washable linen union.^[1]

That matters when you are choosing for a real room. A sitting room that needs quiet texture may suit a plain. A guest bedroom may need a neat print. A tall bay window may need a curtain fabric that works with fullness, lining and pattern matching. The useful rule is simple: match the collection role to the room brief before you fall in love with a colour on screen.

Samples are the safer next step because Romo says swatches help you see how fabrics and wallcoverings work in your home.^[4] Treat them as colour and texture checks, not as a full proof of the finished curtain or blind.

Romo Linara, Romo Aubin and the main fabric style choices

Romo Linara is the right Romo fabric choice when your project needs a soft, versatile plain with cotton-linen character and broad shade choice. Romo describes Linara as a washable linen union with a brushed finish and a soft peach-skin feel.^[2] British Made Interiors also lists Linara Silver Birch as part of the Linara collection, with a 63% cotton and 37% linen composition on that product page.^[3]

If you are choosing Linara for curtains, check the product-specific details rather than assuming every Linara option is identical. British Made Interiors lists Linara Linen with Fabric Width (cm) | 140^[5]. A separate retailer listing gives the fabric a Martindale: 36000^[6]. Those figures are useful for checking that specific fabric, but do not assume they apply to every Romo collection or finished product.

Choose Romo Aubin, or another decorative Romo collection, when the room needs pattern rather than a plain. The evidence supports Aubin as a small-scale-print direction within Romo’s collection taxonomy.^[1] It does not prove detailed Aubin care, performance or blind suitability. If Aubin catches your eye, order a sample and verify the product details before you use it as the final room decision.

How to choose the right Romo fabric before you order

Start with the feeling you want in the room. If you want a calm main fabric that can sit with existing paint, flooring and furniture, compare Linara shades first. If the window treatment needs to be the decorative feature, move to Aubin or another print, stripe or weave. Then decide whether the fabric will become made-to-measure curtains or a Roman blind.

Next, check the evidence at product level. A sample page can help you judge shade and handle, but it may not show the full repeat or the way a large window changes the scale. For a shade-critical room, such as a pale bedroom or a south-facing sitting room, order samples before you make the made-to-measure choice.^[4]

Finally, check which claims apply to the exact curtain or blind you are ordering. British Made Interiors says its Romo made-to-measure curtains come with a 10 year guarantee^[7], and says every fabric joint is matched 100% on its made-to-measure curtains.^[8] Those claims apply to those curtain pages; they do not prove that every Romo fabric performs the same way in every blind, heading or room.

Which Romo fabric fits your project?

Start with Romo Linara for a versatile plain, choose Aubin or another decorative Romo collection when the brief needs pattern, then choose our Romo made-to-measure curtains or start from our Romo brand page for Roman blinds after checking samples, lining and finished details.

Romo fabrics for made-to-measure curtains

For Romo fabric curtains, shortlist a Romo swatch first, then use our Romo made-to-measure curtains for the fabric, curtain style and lining choices. The Romo curtains page asks you to choose a swatch to get started and lets you filter by theme, pattern and colour.^[7]

Once you have a fabric direction, the curtain decision becomes more practical. Linara Linen, for example, is shown in a product flow that asks you to choose pair or single curtains and then select a curtain style.^[5] If you are weighing fullness, fabric use or heading style, our curtain tips for choosing the right fabric give a narrower follow-up.

In a Trustpilot review, Consumer described spending time researching made-to-measure curtains online, choosing double pleat headings and receiving curtains made to the requested finished measurements.^[11] Treat that as one person’s example of the decisions involved, not as a promise of a typical result. Your next step is to confirm the fabric, heading and lining for your own window.

Romo fabrics for Roman blinds

For Roman blinds, use the Romo brand page as the brand-specific starting point, then check the blind details before you order. This is a practical limit: a dedicated Romo Roman blinds listing is not evidenced here, so it is safer to use the Romo brand page and verify the blind details rather than assume every Romo fabric has the same finished option.

Roman blinds ask different questions from curtains. The folds can change how a print reads, and the blind needs the right lining and track fit. British Made Interiors says its standard Roman blind lining protects blinds from the sun, and that made-to-measure Roman blind tracks are 4cm deep including fixing brackets.^[9] For more fabric-specific fold guidance, use our best fabrics for Roman blinds support.

In a Trustpilot review, LouLaugh described calling British Made Interiors about long, slender blinds sitting side by side on a French door, where fabric use and pattern matching affected the discussion.^[10] That is a good reminder to ask about adjacent narrow or long blinds before you commit, especially if the fabric has a clear repeat.

Buying considerations before finalising Romo curtains or blinds

Before you finalise Romo curtains or blinds, separate three checks: what the fabric is, how it looks in your room, and how it behaves in the finished format. Linara Silver Birch product details can help you check a specific composition and sample option.^[3] Romo swatches can help with colour and texture at home.^[4] The made-to-measure product page then helps you choose heading, lining and finish.

Do not use one product page as a full price guide for every project. Finished cost changes with fabric, size, heading, lining and blind or curtain format. The safer way is to choose your fabric shortlist, then price the exact curtain or blind you want. If lining choice is the main open question, our curtain lining options explained page can help you compare sateen, blackout and thermal choices.
