Six Darkly Brilliant Fabrics

Printed on a linen base. ‘Belmont Trail’ is a boldly scaled chinoiserie pattern with exotic birds, bamboo and blossoming florals, inspired by an original embroidered silk in the Colefax and Fowler archives

Black Edition’s ‘Chimera’ fabric takes inspiration from ancient mythology, depicting an array of fantastical, winged creatures. This jacquard weave is complemented by a matching wallcovering. Find it at Romo

The wide-width ‘L’Oasis’ by Lelièvre Paris evokes lush nature in all its glory, with a fluid, lightweight texture that makes it an ideal choice for curtains

From the Polynesian word for ‘ocean’, ‘Moana’ by Casamance takes us to a colourful underwater kingdom, where shells, lacy corals and anemones undulate between the rocks

Influenced by the Silk Road, Gert Voorjans fuses east and west his latest collection for Jim Thompson, available at Fox Linton. ‘Prima Vera’ comes in hot pink and zingy lime green on a dark chocolate background

Part of illustrator Emma J Shipley’s ongoing collaboration with Clarke & Clarke at Harlequin, ‘Quetzal Velvet’ features the teeming birdlife of a Costa Rican cloud forest. Shown on a charcoal background, it also comes in teal and violet
