The founding brand of The Romo Group, Romo is renowned for its assorted library of classic and contemporary designs and versatile plains, offering a diverse style and timeless elegance enriched with a sophisticated colour palette.
Generations of experience and distinctive British design are the foundation of the Romo brand. Since establishing its own in-house design studio in the 1980s Romo has continued to grow and is now a market leader in designer fabrics and wallcoverings.
Led by Design Director Emily Mould, the Romo studio is a continuous hub of activity and creativity, an Aladdin’s cave of sketches, paintings, fabric and colour charts, the studio walls are a constant source of inspiration. Each launch the designers research new ideas, finding inspiration in an array of influences from travel and fashion to nature and the outdoors.
Romo collections are launched twice a year through our worldwide network of designers, retailers, distributors and agents giving our exclusive collections international brand recognition in over 70 countries.
Our reputation for offering excellent designs and outstanding products is upheld by our in-house team of talented and experienced designers.
With the customer at the forefront of any launch, great consideration and thought is put into the designs and colour palette, ensuring that collections can be used to create a cohesive scheme for all types of home. Each designer plays a key part in the creative process, with expert weavers designing innovative woven qualities and talented artists creating original prints and wallcoverings. All original artwork is intricately hand painted and delicately coloured in our in-house design studio, before being sent to expert weavers and printers to create the finished pieces of fabric and wallcoverings you see today.
Founded in 1902 by Robert Mould, Romo is a family run business in its fifth generation.
Based in Nottinghamshire, UK, with offices and showrooms in London, Europe and the USA, The Romo Group now has six established brands all of which have their own unique character and style. Each brand has its own in-house design studio creating a diverse range of fabrics, wallcoverings, trimmings and accessories to suit customers' tastes and needs worldwide.
In 1902, Robert Mould, who gave his name to the company, started a small-scale furniture manufacturing business in Nottingham, England. By the 1930s, the company had become wholesalers to the upholstery industry, supplying furnishing fabrics and components for the manufacture of furniture. The company continued to evolve until eventually the upholstery manufacturing side of the business ceased completely and the supply of furnishing fabrics became the company’s primary focus. In the 1980s Romo started its own in-house design studio, injecting a more creative approach to design which redefined Romo as the design-led company it is known as today.
The group is currently managed by the founder’s great grandson, Jonathan Mould, along with his children Felicity, Emily and Jordan. With extensive international showrooms and distribution, The Romo Group has over 370 employees and is recognised worldwide, with exports totalling approximately 70% of sales. Customer satisfaction and employee welfare are at the core of the company’s values, and although much expanded, Romo remains very much a family business at heart.
