As one of the most celebrated designers in the business, Orla Kiely OBE, is an Irish fashion designer based in London, who began her career designing hats, moving on to handbags and many other items including kitchenware and cars and earning her a reputation as the Queen of Prints.

She worked with several companies before setting up her own business, when she extended her collaborative philosophy to include the studio at Ashley Wilde, allowing illumin8 the chance to offer an iconic range of blinds & curtains, together in one exclusive collection.
The Print Library by Cath Kidston for made-to-measure blinds and curtains features familiar favourites like signature spots, playful character designs and colourful stripes as well a host of iconic florals, including their first ever print design, Antique Rose.
The brand was established in 1993 and was immediately loved for home furnishings. We were delighted to introduce the latest collection of modern vintage prints to brighten up your windows including several beautiful new designs that are destined to become Cath Kidston classics.
Created in 2005 by mother-daughter co-founders Yvonne and Rebecca Drury, the business developed organically after printing patterns and illustrations onto silk and making lampshades.
Renowned for their playful, bold prints in uncomplicated colour palettes and Scandinavian styling, their designs take inspiration from the environment, abstract plant forms and geometric repeats, which are synonymous with the mid-century era.
The collection boasts over 90 fabric options across Roller and Roman Blinds, Curtains and Cushion covers, offering a mix of prints, jacquards and sheers.
