Made to Measure Curtains

Seaside Curtain Fabric

Vanessa's husband, Nicholas, designed this wonderful seaside fabric print which Vanessa called 'By The Sea'. 

Nicholas writes: "'By the Sea’ was inspired by my early childhood in Solva and recent visits to Mousehole and St Ives. I delight in coastal towns with their cosy harbours and brightly coloured cottages, nestling behind little pathways that snake between terraced gardens and climb up the hillside.”

This seaside fabric collection comes in three colours: Scree grey, Saffron yellow, and Teal blue. The drawn line is a soft grey and the other colours create the houses and boats etc.

What can your seaside fabrics be used for?

These seaside fabrics can be used for all soft furnishings. This pictorial design can be made into wonderful curtains. There is so much to look at in the design, from boats, lighthouses, to dogs and people, as well as pretty cottages and the sea.

Children’s imaginations can be fired up and with the lovely detailed scenes, and with light behind the fabric, the seaside can come alive.

Seaside print curtain fabrics

This gorgeous 100% linen fabric with a seaside design, is strong enough to be used for the upholstery of footstools, chairs, and sofas. Perfect for coastal or seaside settings, By the Sea looks particularly good on headboards, scatter cushions, lampshades, blinds, and curtains.

What other patterns complement your seaside fabrics UK

There are many fabrics from other collections that go well or contrast well with the seaside fabric range. Plain Linen Unions in Saffron, Teal and Scree, complement and contrast with the Seaside pattern and add some stillness and calm to the interior scheme.

An example of combining some of these colours would be to have a pair of curtains made in By the Sea - Teal, and then pop a leading edge in Plain Linen Union -Saffron on there, to give the room a warm splash of colour. Alternatively stripes in Saffron, particularly Stockholm Stripe and French Ticking, coordinate very well with the smaller pattern repeat on the Pretty Maids.
