Inspired by the incredible garden designs at the Chelsea Flower Show, we have selected a collection of fabrics suitable for blinds and curtains which capture the beauty of the garden. The result is a fresh summertime symphony of twisting branches, trailing blooms – irises, roses, ripe fruits and palm fringes– enlivened by colourful Emperor ducks, Golden parrots, and characterful frogs darting through the foliage.
‘Crane and Frog’, cotton, from Sanderson
Telling a story of English water gardens, the ‘Crane and Frog’ fabric features Emperor ducks, characterful frogs and regal koi carp, paired with irises and roses to recreate the spirit of the 1930s.
‘Anar Trellis’, from Zoffany
The Cotswolds Manor Fabric collection features ‘Anar Trellis’, a fabulous large scale embroidery of stylised pomegranate seeds surrounded by a decorative trellis. This striking, dual-purpose design for blinds and curtains is produced on a fine, tightly woven Ottoman base.
‘Golden Parrot’, Polyester, from Clarke & Clarke
Wedgewood by Clarke & Clarke, Botanical Wonders Collection, features ‘Golden Parrot’. Set against a background of bright foliage, the Golden Parrot sits proudly amongst this delightful fabric.
‘Ella’, cotton and linen, from Harlequin x Diane Hill
This beautiful cotton/linen curtain and blind fabric is a sleek interpretation of an antique chinoiserie wallpaper, depicting stylised birds and ripe fruits—a modern take on a traditional panoramic scene.
‘Hikkaduwa Fabric’, cotton and linen, from Scion
Named after one of Sri Lanka’s palm-fringed beaches, painterly banana leaves overlap to create a soft stripe on this colourful Scion fabric. A perfect fabric for blinds or curtains in a modern interior.
‘Tree of Life’, cotton and acrylic, from Prestigious Textiles
Inspired by the original tropical landscapes and vibrant culture of Sri Lanka, the ‘Tree of Life’ fabric features painterly textures and intricate embroideries.
