House of Hackney fabrics

House of Hackney fabrics come from the London interiors brand founded in 2011 by Frieda Gormley and Javvy M Royle, a couple who wanted to bring the beauty of nature indoors. Named after the East London district of Hackney, the brand is known for bold botanical prints, intense colours and a distinctly artistic signature. Choosing House of Hackney fabrics means choosing textiles that instantly give a space something to say.

The story behind House of Hackney fabrics

Gormley and Royle started the brand out of a desire to create interiors they couldn't find anywhere themselves: full of colour, full of pattern and inspired by nature and Victorian ornamentation. You see that vision in every metre of House of Hackney fabrics, where lush leaves, flowers and exotic motifs take centre stage. The brand is a certified B Corp and works as much as possible at home and made to order, to limit waste. That makes these textiles not only an aesthetic choice, but a conscious one too.

Materials and look of House of Hackney fabrics

The collections come in several finishes, each with its own character. Lighter cotton- and linen-like versions feel airy and are suited to curtains and cushions, while the plush velvet finishes give furniture and décor a rich, tactile dimension. Part of the range is also developed as performance or outdoor fabric: stylish and able to withstand everyday use. The strength of House of Hackney fabrics lies in the drawing and the colour, from botanical prints to baroque and graphic patterns, which makes every design instantly recognisable. For its fabrics, House of Hackney works with materials such as organic cotton and recycled fibres.

Signature collections of House of Hackney fabrics

The brand's most iconic print is Palmeral, an explosion of palm leaves that pays tribute to Loddiges, one of the largest palm houses in the world, which stood in Hackney in the Georgian era. The brand also collaborated with the heritage of William Morris, reinterpreting classics such as Compton and Foliage in colour and scale, including in an England-made cotton velvet fabric. In our range you'll find a current selection of House of Hackney fabrics:

• Taraxa fabric — botanical motif with expressive lines and warm colour accents
• Heavenly Hemp fabric — airy nature print, ideal for curtains and light interiors
• Caspar fabric — bold pattern with an artistic, idiosyncratic character
• Camelot Stripe fabric — classic striped design with a colourful, modern twist
• Quercus Linen fabric — natural appearance with a subtle botanical motif, timeless and refined

Where do House of Hackney fabrics fit and how do you combine them?

The fabrics are perfectly suited to living rooms and bedrooms where you want to make a statement with curtains, upholstery or decorative cushions. In a dining room or study, the rich motifs instantly add personality and warmth. Combine House of Hackney fabrics with House of Hackney wallpaper for a fully coordinated interior, or use them as a single colour and pattern accent in a calmer setting. The performance and outdoor versions are a smart choice for anyone who wants to carry the distinctive style through to the terrace or garden as well.

From sample to end result: how to go about it

Colours and textures always look different in real life than on a screen. So order a sample first before making a final choice, so you can see exactly how the material feels and how the tones fall in your space. Place the sample next to your furniture and wall colour at different times of day. Because many House of Hackney fabrics are made to order, it's wise to determine the required quantity and the pattern repeat carefully in advance, especially with large motifs that you want to run neatly across.
