I'm so excited to team up with Hillarys and see our signature designs brought to life as stunning made-to-measure window dressings. We love to make things feel nostalgic yet new and each of our fabrics is inspired by a strong narrative, that will last and be loved for a lifetime.

Here I share the stories behind the Hillarys x Poodle & Blonde designs. I can't wait to see how you style them in your home! 

Count the spots

An easy style animal print inspired by Dalmatian spots, our Tottenham Dalmatian fabric has been created in homage to our love for animals.

See how the brush stroked spots of colour dance across the fabric, creating a contemporary take on a classic motif.

Choose from a versatile palette of warm cocoa brown or a light ginger hue.

Bamboo boom

Money Tree is inspired by the tale of my grandfather, who would trick his grandchildren into believing that money really did grow on tree!

Rows of evergreen bamboo branches feature dangled golden coins, our new-school take on bringing the outdoors in.

Marvelous marble

Transform your windows with out stunning marbled design.

Margate Marble features an array of different shaped and sized abstract bubbles, reminiscent of the smooth, polished stones found on Margate beach. It's the perfect print for those who want to add a touch of artistic flair to their home.

Takeaway delights

The age-old legend of a stork delivering babies has been reimagined, now featuring our favourite takeaways. Watch for miniature parcels of hot, delicious dishes being delivered across the design!

I originally hand-embroidered this beautiful chinoiserie pattern using vintage slub silk, before it was digitised to form this perfect backdrop - perfect for a cosy setting for family movie nights or grown-up 'me' time.

Welcome to the Wild West

Tuscon Lullaby brings Americana to the fore. Inspired by the comforting warmth and design of a cowboy's blanket, it blends patchwork with an on-trend checkerboard pattern that's both timeless and fresh.

Each colour instantly injects a sense of texture and warmth, to bring your windows alive. 

Cowboy hats and boots optional!

Hex appeal

Chain of Fools is a real statement-maker. This luxurious geometric design features textured interlocking hexagons against a smooth block of colour, creating a captivating visual texture.

Pair your curtains with a contemporary wave heading to elevate the space with a touch of 70s cool. The result? A fusion of modern style and retro vibes.

Rattan revival

This Rattan Print adds a timeless touch to any room.

This intricate hand-painted design of Wyndham's Rattan is inspired by a classic rattan weave, the neutral tone hints at botanical styling, while its versatility complements a variety of styles, from Victorian grandeur to 70s' boho chic.

Make a splash

Dive into ageless style with Wave, a bold design featuring a large-scale wave print that channels the essence of the 60s and 70s with its fluid shapes.

Effortlessly complementing both maximalist and minimalist decor, Wave injects a touch of retro wherever you use it.

Touch of glam

Embrace the allure of a bygone era with 1970's.

Inspired by traditional marbling techniques. This design has a touch of timeless charm, with its imperfect scalloped rows adding layers of character and sophistication.

Drawing cues from the Italian design scene of the 70s and 80s, this fabric evokes a sense of effortless glamour. Imagine Roman blinds crafted from this stunning fabric transforming your bedroom into a sanctuary of retro chic.

Retro remix

Our Micro Glaze print is ideal choice for adding a touch of retro style to any room.

Inspired by West German pottery glazes, this design features a two-tone palette with a beautiful, hand-painted watercolour effect.

It's  a subtle yet sophisticated geometric pattern that evokes a sense of mid-century retro cool - a unique look sure to bring a fresh feel to any space.
