Upholstery fabric patterns: floral, ikat, check

Upholstery fabric — An archive-style documentary floral: a large trailing branch of peony and pomegranate with curling acanthus leaves, a small bird among the stems, drawn with the flat separations of an old block-printed furnishing cloth, the repeat running a full arm's length, tone-on-tone woven jacquard, pattern formed by the weave itself, matte and lustrous threads alternating, no printed line

Upholstery is the one substrate where the pattern stretches over a curve and is cut at a seam, so the repeat is quoted in inches and the cloth often runs railroaded. These nine render a documentary floral, an ikat and a check as seamless repeats across three cloth weights. Ask for a different print — a stripe, a botanical, a paisley — and the same three weights carry it.

Frequently asked questions

What size do these print at?
Each pattern is a seamless repeat quoted to the inch, so it scales cleanly to any bolt width or cushion panel you print it for.
Can I get a different print, like a stripe or paisley?
Yes — the direction field takes any print, and the same documentary floral, ikat and check structure renders it.
What's the difference between the three cloth weights?
They read the hand of the cloth — a lighter weight for a drape-forward chair, a heavier weight for a hard-wearing sofa run, and a mid-weight between them.
Can I railroad the pattern to avoid a seam?
Yes — each repeat is drawn to run either direction, so it railroads cleanly across a wide cushion or bolster.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
