The Silk Gallery

The Silk Gallery If you are looking for quality furnishing fabric manufactured in the UK please see a selection on http://www.thesilkgallery.com/

The Silk Gallery was established by Kathryn Thompson in 1989 and is now a leading UK based furnishing fabrics company. Kathryn originated the business when as an interior designer she created a collection of fabrics in the specific colours and designs which she needed for her projects but could not find. Kathryn still designs much of the collection and is determined to ensure that all manufacture

is undertaken under her supervision in the United Kingdom. Timeless classical themes with a contemporary twist have always been the inspiration for The Silk Gallery’s innovative designs. The creativity of the designs is evident in the production process itself. The core fabric used is silk, but through years of experience and testing the company has developed yam combinations that enhance both durability and the natural characteristics of the silk. New and distinctive textures, totally unique to The Silk Gallery have been created by teaming silk with linen, cotton, cashmere, flax, wool and polyester; offering fabrics in a combination of qualities and weights with a wide variety of uses. More recently , because of commercial demand, trevira has been added to the range of qualities. A significant part of the work undertaken by the company is on bespoke commission, working closely with customers or their interior designers creating custom coloured fabrics. More recently the company has introduced a complementary range of trimmings, including fringes, gimps and tiebacks, some of which include glamorous Swarovski crystal. The trimming ranges may also be custom coloured to suit the designer’s specific schemes.

Working with the lovely Sarah at on 2 bespoke carpet projects. What a fabulous , creative way to spend a Friday! The rug designs
are stunning and versatile. By mixing wool and tencel it’s possible to use the harder wearing yarns in the high traffic areas and keep the sheen of the tencil where
it can be seen and not ruined. They are the perfect compliment to our bespoke fabrics!

Plum and burgundy are the colours of the season for a reason. The colour is so versatile-it goes with so many others. It’s in every high street fashion shop but it’s wonderful in interiors too!

It’s Friday and I’m dreaming of being back in Montezuma - a small, laid-back beach town on the Nicoya Peninsula in Costa Rica. It’s known for its bohemian vibe, natural beauty, and artistic community. The swim in the waterfall felt wonderful after the long climb - luckily I couldn’t see what else was in the water!!!
