Fabric Friday ✨ This week we’re walking into the world of Suzanis.

Rich colour, expressive pattern and centuries of textile tradition reimagined for modern interiors — Suzani-inspired fabrics have a way of feeling collected, layered and endlessly joyful.

This week’s line-up:

1. Betsy Textiles — Jardin Chartreuse
2. Mally Skok — Sofia Multi
3. Penny Morrison — Simla Pink Green
4. Mally Skok — Suzani Luv Taupe
5. Betsy Textiles — Jardin Fiesta
6. Kushaan Textiles — Suradevi Pagoda

From painterly florals to bold decorative motifs and vibrant palettes, each one brings its own personality while sharing that unmistakable Suzani spirit.

Now for the important question… which one gets your vote?

Fabric Friday, with a focus on stripes.

This week’s edit looks at how stripes behave across scale, texture and technique — sometimes graphic, sometimes softened, always grounding a scheme:

Torn Paper Stripe by

Pom Pom by

Anatolian Stripe by

Dabu Stripe by

Hudson Stripe by

From crisp and architectural to hand‑drawn and decorative, stripes remain one of the most versatile tools in the textile palette — especially when used to anchor layered interiors.

Our edit is done — now over to you.
Which stripe would you specify? 1–5

Worth saving if stripes are playing a role in your current or upcoming projects.

Wallpaper Wednesday, exploring softer versus bolder pattern.

This week’s edit features:
Alba by
and Amazonia by shown in two colourways.

One calm and pared back, the other layered and expressive — a good reminder that wallpaper decisions are often less about right or wrong, and more about mood, confidence and where the space needs to land.

Zara didn’t hesitate and went straight for the full‑colour Amazonia.
Over to you — would you follow her lead, or lean toward Alba?

Worth saving if wallpaper is coming up in your next project.

Textile importer.
Accountant.
Content creator.
Cleaner.

Small business ownership means wearing a lot of hats — sometimes all before lunch.

If you run a business or juggle long projects with too many moving parts, this will feel familiar.

Still showing up for the work that matters most.

Fabric Friday, with a focus on embroidery.

This week’s edit explores stitched detail, texture and pattern — where surface becomes story and craft is part of the design language:

Kali by
Sintra Stripe by
Banyan by
Brookdale by
Mikado by

Each brings embroidery into play in a different way — from graphic and rhythmic to softer and more decorative — offering plenty of scope across upholstery, cushions and layered schemes.

We’ve pulled them together — now we’d love your take.
Which one would you specify? 1–5

Worth saving if embroidered textures are featuring in your current or upcoming projects.

Wallpaper Wednesday, leaning into pattern and personality.

This week’s blue edit features three very different directions:
Theodora by
Carol by
and Vasari by

Each brings its own energy — from classic and graphic to softer, more decorative — making the choice less about colour and more about how you want the space to feel.

Zara is torn between Theodora and Carol…
but we’d love to know — where do you land?
