Collection: Arts & Crafts Fabric Collection

About our Arts & Crafts Fabric Collection

Our Arts and Crafts Interior Fabric Collection refers to textiles inspired by the Arts and Crafts Movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This movement, founded by figures like William Morris, emphasized handcrafted design, high-quality materials, and a rejection of industrial mass production. It celebrated nature, simplicity, and craftsmanship, and its textiles often feature intricate patterns inspired by flora, fauna, and medieval or folk art motifs.

Key Features of Arts and Crafts Fabric Collections:

Design Motifs: Patterns typically include stylized flowers, leaves, vines, birds, and geometric shapes. Nature-inspired designs dominate, with an emphasis on symmetry and organic forms.

Colour Palette: Rich, earthy tones like deep greens, ochres, blues, reds, and browns are common. Soft contrasts and harmonious colour schemes reflect the natural world.

Materials: Fabrics are often made from natural fibres like cotton, linen, and wool. High-quality weaving and dyeing techniques emphasize durability and beauty.

Techniques: Hand-printed or block-printed designs were standard during the movement’s height. Modern collections may replicate these methods or use digital printing to mimic the handcrafted aesthetic.

Modern interpretations of the Arts and Crafts style maintain the movement’s dedication to quality and timeless beauty. Many fabric companies and interior designers continue to create or reissue collections inspired by original patterns, ensuring the style remains accessible for contemporary interiors.
