Cotton Fabric
Cotton holds a print beautifully, which is why so much decorative cloth is woven from it. It is crisp, breathable and easy to live with, taking colour cleanly so that a floral, a stripe or a detailed archive design reads sharply. This page brings together cottons and cotton blends, from printed panamas to weaves and velvets with a cotton base.
Clarke & Clarke offers one of the largest ranges here, including Northwood and their William Morris Designs. Scion brings a bright, graphic eye with Oakham and Pomona, and Morris & Co adds weaves and velvets in Morris & Friends. For striped and ikat cottons, look at Sanderson's Sabu Stripes & Ikats.
A lighter printed cotton is lovely for curtains, blinds and cushions. For upholstery, a heavier cotton weave or a blend is usually the better choice, and the product details will show whether a fabric is rated for it, along with any rub test result. Cotton can soften in strong sunlight over time, so a lining is worth considering at a bright window.
Explore floral fabric and botanical fabric for the patterns cotton suits best, compare with linen fabric, or browse cushion fabric for smaller projects.
