A bedroom always softens with somewhere to sit that isn't the bed. This little buttoned armchair wears a Cloth & Clover floral — the kind of faded, warm print that settles in beside antique timber and an old portrait like it's always been there.

Cloth & Clover fabrics are available Australia-wide through MOTIVO.

Fabric Friday ✨ This week’s theme: PAISLEY.
Decorative, timeless and always a little bit romantic — paisley has remained a design favourite for centuries. With its signature flowing teardrop motif and richly layered detail, it brings movement, softness and a sense of collected charm to interiors.
Whether interpreted through bold colour, intricate florals or relaxed neutrals, paisley has a way of feeling both traditional and unexpectedly fresh.
This week’s line-up:
Penny Morrison — Jamawar
Betsy Textiles — Albert
Lisa Fine — Ayesha
Stokelane — Pimlico Paisley
Peter Dunham — Samarkand
From intricate and decorative to playful and vibrant — which paisley is getting your vote this week? ↓

Fabric Friday ✨ This week’s theme: IKATS.
Effortless, expressive and endlessly versatile — ikats are loved for their beautifully softened edges, painterly movement and ability to bring pattern into a space without feeling overly formal.
Originating from traditional resist-dyeing techniques across Central Asia and beyond, ikats have become a favourite for creating interiors that feel layered, collected and full of character.
This week’s line-up:
Peter Dunham — Bukhara Pink Orange
Silk and Cotton — Timor
Homme Design — Downpour
Botanica Trading — Serena Ikat
Mally Skok — Ikat Crazy
Kushaan Textiles — Bukhara
From bold and playful to soft and lived-in, there’s an ikat for every style.
