Sofas & Stuff unveils new fabric collection with botanical prints

Sofas & Stuff has launched a new fabric collection that draws on British woodland motifs, offering a mix of botanical prints, flowing stripes and abstract patterns for upholstery, curtains and soft furnishings.

British woods inspire a fresh home textile line

The design team spent months observing the Sussex countryside near the founder’s residence. Seasonal changes revealed fern fronds, oak leaves, meadow flowers and the cracked surface of summer clay paths. Those observations became the visual basis for a range that seeks to echo the setting without reproducing it literally.

Patterns meant to work together across a room

Each motif serves a distinct purpose. One stripe pattern adds direction, while a botanical print supplies fine detail with oak leaves and thistles. An abstract option pulls from mapped landforms and the marks of well‑trod earth, giving a contemporary edge.

Pieces such as the Helmsley three‑seater sofa in “Woodland Toile Forest Green” and the Snape chair in “Frond Stripe Small Berry” showcase the range. The sofa pairs the toile print with “Coppice Stripe Forest Green,” while matching curtains in “Frond All Over Sandstone” complete the look.

Rather than a set of isolated fabrics, the line is built to layer naturally. Varying scales let patterns build from a statement sofa to full‑height curtains, chairs, cushions and footstools. A quieter linen‑based option provides a neutral backdrop for the more expressive motifs.

Printed in a single colour on a natural linen‑blend ground, every piece shares a common visual language.

This uniformity lets designers mix different scales without overwhelming a scheme. The approach also simplifies ordering, as the same material can be bought by the metre or as made‑to‑order upholstery.

The flexibility may encourage interior professionals to experiment more boldly, yet the cohesive look could also steer projects toward a unified aesthetic.

If the line gains traction, it might set a modest new standard for how texture and pattern are balanced in residential interiors.

Showrooms now display hanging lengths, fabric books and selected furniture upholstered in the new prints. Visitors can feel the texture and assess the scale before specifying the material for a whole project.

Andrew Cussins, the founder and design director, directed the collection by observing the local environment of the Sussex countryside. His residence in this area served as the primary source of inspiration, ensuring the designs remain grounded in the familiar presence of native woodland found throughout the British setting.

The collection interprets these natural elements through a diverse range of textile techniques. Beyond simple botanical illustrations, the range explores the forms and textures of the setting through abstract designs, gently flowing stripes and story-led prints.

Within this family of designs, specific roles are assigned to different patterns. Frond Stripe introduces movement and direction, while botanical illustrations add detail through oak leaves, meadow flowers and thistles. Abstract designs like Contour Lines and Summer Clay take a more conceptual approach, drawing on mapped landforms and the marks of well‑trod earth to provide balance and a contemporary edge.

Woodland Toile introduces a more decorative, story-led element, while Woodland Linen provides a quieter foundation that allows the more expressive designs to sit comfortably alongside one another. This separation of visual weight ensures that a room can feature bold patterns without losing cohesion.

For interior designers, that considered balance offers both creative freedom and practical flexibility. Printed in a single colour on a natural linen-blend ground, every design shares the same visual language, making it easy to layer different scales and motifs without overwhelming a scheme.

Available both on Sofas & Stuff’s made-to-order upholstery and by the metre, the collection can be specified across an entire project, creating a cohesive thread from larger upholstered pieces through to curtains, cushions and other soft furnishings. The range includes the Harwood chair in Summer Clay Storm, further demonstrating the versatility of the abstract patterns.

Now available across all Sofas & Stuff showrooms, the collection can be explored through hanging lengths, fabric books and selected furniture upholstered in the designs, allowing designers to experience their scale, texture and versatility first-hand.
