Artisan folk designer Julie Dodsworth has created a range of exclusive floral-inspired blinds for Directblinds.co.uk

Julie, who has previously collaborated with Barbour and Wax Lyrical among many others, is inspired by the heritage of the English waterways which combines romance and bohemian style, conveying life on her beloved canal boat, Calamity Jane.

The collection made up of 25 designs has fairytale-esque sounding names such as ‘Enchanted’, Sweetheart’ and ‘Midsummer Ball’ and offers delicate florals, hearts and stripes in a variety of clashing pastel shades.

Nicolas Swift, joint managing director at Direct Blinds said: “Floral patterns from the 70s seem to be a trend that keeps reappearing in our homes, with the bohemian style remaining a key look for SS15.”

Each blind is made to measure. Prices start from £66.15. Directblinds.co.uk
