Cole & Son Fabric by the Yard
Cole & Son's fabric collection extends the brand's celebrated wallpaper heritage — one of the most distinguished in British design history since 1875 — into residential textiles, offering prints on fabric that carry the same pattern authority, historical depth, and design intelligence as the iconic Cole & Son wallpaper archive. Many designs appear in coordinated fabric and wallpaper formats, allowing rooms to be specified with the same Cole & Son pattern on both walls and upholstery or drapery — an approach that creates the most fully-realised and immersive Cole & Son interior environment. At The WorkRoom, we carry Cole & Son fabric as an authorised dealer, with samples available before committing to a full order.
The Cole & Son Fabric Aesthetic
Cole & Son fabric draws from the same extraordinary archive that informs the brand's wallpaper collections — historic botanical prints, classical geometric patterns, the Fornasetti collaboration's surrealist architectural imagery, and the brand's own developed pattern traditions across 150 years of continuous production. On fabric, these designs acquire the additional dimension of textile character — the way pattern reads differently on a surface with weight, drape, and tactile quality than on a flat wall. Cole & Son fabric suits the same formally-appointed and design-aware residential interiors as the wallpaper collection: rooms where pattern carries genuine design authority and where the quality of the source material is understood and appreciated.
Cole & Son Fabric for Drapery and Upholstery
The collection serves primarily drapery applications — where the full pattern can be displayed at appropriate scale in curtain panels — and accent upholstery on pieces that benefit from the brand's distinctive pattern vocabulary. Coordinating a Cole & Son fabric print with the brand's wallpaper equivalent in the same pattern creates the most immersive and authentically-designed Cole & Son room environment.
