Romo, Fabrics & Wallcoverings showcases block-printed Taia pattern

The selection was made by designers Abi and Katie, who work together. The company presents the two patterns as examples of different forms of decorative pattern.

Taia, with its playful pomegranate motif and block-printed appeal, adds warmth and character to a space. The pair say their personal tastes differ greatly, so something both of them love must be right. They state that Taia is the design both of them fell for immediately. They report that the scale of the pomegranate print works well with many designs, and that both would like to use it in their own homes.

Odara, by contrast, is a small-scale geometric design. Its flawless example, which Abi and Katie describe as "pattern plain", reads as a plain surface when used on large pieces of furniture or along an entire wall. From a distance the pattern gives a calm ground effect, while up close it reveals detail.

The selection also includes the Mineral colour of Elvyn (8100/06), alongside the Seaglass colour of Riko Cord Trim (T146/04).

While one pattern draws attention, the other stays in the background, creating a balanced whole in the room.

Wallcoverings are interior surface materials that define the character of a space through pattern, texture and colour. A patterned wall often becomes the focal point of a room. Before application, the surface must be flat, clean and dry; for patterned products, extra material is allowed so the pattern repeat can be aligned. Wallcoverings can be matched with curtains, upholstery and cushions in the same colour family to create a cohesive décor.

For upholstery, selection is considered together with the form of the furniture. Large patterns tend to look balanced on broad surfaces, while small patterns and plain colours look more balanced on smaller pieces. This approach aligns with the way small-scale patterns provide a calm ground effect on large furniture pieces.
