Katy Botanicals - botanical fabrics that are designed and printed in the UK
Sustainable. Contemporary.
Rooted in Craft.
Are you looking for responsibly made British fabrics created by an independent designer?
At Katy Botanicals, for the last ten years I’ve been creating hand‑painted botanical fabrics while looking out over my English cottage garden in the Hampshire countryside. Every design begins as an original painting, developed from plants, flowers, and natural forms I find in my garden and on walks through the countryside from my home. This hands‑on process ensures each pattern has a clear artistic origin and a direct connection to the landscape that inspires it.
My designs are then printed to order in the UK on sustainable natural fabrics using low‑impact methods. Keeping production local supports British textile expertise, reduces transport emissions, and ensures every metre is produced to a high standard.
Would you like UK‑printed fabrics made with sustainable natural materials?
All fabrics in my collection are printed in Britain using water‑based inks on lovely, responsibly sourced natural textiles such as linen and organic cotton. Each fabric is chosen for its durability, environmental benefits, and suitability for home interiors.
Natural fabrics offer:
Long‑lasting performance
Breathability and comfort
Lower environmental impact
A more authentic, natural finish
Printing to order also keeps waste low and allows for careful quality control at every stage.
Are you searching for a contemporary take on classic British design styles?
My work is influenced by the heritage of British pattern design — including William Morris, C.F.A. Voysey, and the wider Arts & Crafts movement. These designers championed nature, craftsmanship, and thoughtful patternmaking, values that continue to shape my approach. They also believed that everyone has the right to enjoy good design.
I reinterpret these traditions with a modern sensibility:
Cleaner, contemporary colour palettes
Updated scale for today’s interiors
Hand‑painted details that retain the character of the original artwork
Sustainable materials aligned with current environmental priorities
The result is a collection that feels familiar in its roots but fresh in its contemporary designs.
Looking for fabrics inspired by real English gardens and natural forms?
My cottage garden deep in the Hampshire countryside is the heart of my design process. I paint directly from life — observing seasonal changes, plant structures, and natural colour variations. This gives each design an authenticity that can’t be replicated through digital illustration alone.
The garden provides:
Real botanical references
Seasonal inspiration
A consistent visual language
A sense of place that runs through the entire collection
This approach ensures the designs remain grounded, recognisable, and connected to the environment that inspired them.
Would you like responsibly produced fabrics that work for curtains, upholstery, and soft furnishings?
My fabrics are all printed by small, trusted British printers who I have a personal relationship with. The fabrics in my collection are suitable for a wide range of interior projects, including:
Curtains and blinds
Upholstery
Cushions
Lampshades
General soft furnishings
Each fabric is produced with durability and practicality in mind, making them suitable for both decorative and everyday use.
And are you looking for British‑made fabrics that combine craftsmanship, sustainability, and original design?
My aim is to offer an alternative to mass‑produced textiles — fabrics that are thoughtfully designed, responsibly made, and rooted in genuine artistic practice. From the first brushstroke to the final printed length, each stage of the process reflects a commitment to quality, sustainability, and British craft.
I hope you like them.
