Frequently Asked Questions
We know that ordering fabrics, wallpaper and made-to-order home furnishings often comes with questions. Whether you’re choosing the perfect design, ordering samples or planning a larger project, we’re here to help.
Below you’ll find answers to some of our most commonly asked questions. If you can’t find the information you’re looking for, please don’t hesitate to get in touch—we’re always happy to help.
Fabrics & Wallpapers
What Does Print To Order Mean?
Many of our fabrics and wallpapers are printed to order rather than held as large volumes of stock. This allows us to reduce unnecessary waste, maintain consistent quality and ensure each order is produced specifically for you.
It also means we can carefully manage colour consistency between print runs, helping to achieve the best possible result for your project.
What Are Your Current Lead Times?
Fabric and wallpaper orders are typically produced within 4–6 weeks, although lead times may vary throughout the year.
For made-to-measure curtains, blinds and bespoke projects, lead times will depend on the scale and complexity of the commission. Please contact us for the most up-to-date information.
How Much Wallpaper/Fabrics Do I Need?
We are happy to help calculate fabric and wallpaper quantities for your project.
Simply email your measurements to hello@bauldrybotanicals.com and we will advise on the quantity required, taking pattern repeats and product specifications into account.
Is Your Fabric Fire Treated?
Our fabrics are not supplied with fire-retardant treatment as standard.
If your project requires fire-retardant certification, we can discuss suitable treatment options and advise on the best approach for your intended use.
Please note that any third-party treatments are carried out independently and certification should be obtained directly from the treatment provider.
Is Your Fabric Suitable For Upholstery?
Some of our fabrics are suitable for light upholstery applications, while others are better suited to curtains, blinds, cushions and decorative furnishings.
We also offer a dedicated upholstery fabric with a durability rating of approximately 15,000 Martindale rubs, making it suitable for a range of residential upholstery projects.
If you are considering a fabric for upholstery, please contact us before ordering and we will be happy to advise on the most appropriate base cloth for your project and intended use.
What Is Your Minimum Order Quantity?
There is no minimum order quantity for most fabric and wallpaper orders.
Whether you require a sample, a single metre of fabric or materials for a larger interior project, we are happy to help.
Why Are There Variations In The Fabric?
Our fabrics are printed on natural fibre bases, which means each length of fabric has its own individual character.
Small variations in texture, occasional slubs and tiny flecks are a natural feature of woven fabrics. In some instances, surface fibres may prevent a small area from receiving print, allowing the natural cloth beneath to remain visible.
These subtle variations are an inherent part of working with natural materials and are considered a characteristic of the fabric rather than a defect.
Is Your Wallpaper Paste The Wall?
Yes, our wallpaper is paste-the-wall, making installation quicker, cleaner and easier than traditional wallpapers.
Rather than applying adhesive directly to the wallpaper, paste is applied to the wall before hanging. This allows each panel to be positioned more easily and can help reduce installation time.
For the best results, we recommend that wallpaper is installed by an experienced decorator and that all rolls are checked prior to hanging.
Can I Order Additional Fabric Or Wallpaper Later?
Yes, as our fabrics and wallpapers are printed to order, you can place additional orders in the future.
However, as with all printed textiles and wallpapers, slight variations in colour can occur between production batches. Factors such as printing dates, materials and manufacturing conditions can result in small differences that may be noticeable when products from different batches are placed side by side.
For this reason, we always recommend ordering the full quantity required for your project at the same time wherever possible.
If you are unsure how much fabric or wallpaper you need, please contact us before ordering and we will be happy to help with quantity calculations.
Cushions & Bespoke Creations
Where Are Your Products Made?
Every Bauldry Botanicals design begins in our Norfolk studio, where our collections are hand drawn and developed in-house.
Our cushions, curtains, blinds and bespoke home furnishings are made in-house, allowing us to oversee each piece with care, attention to detail and a personal touch.
Our fabrics and wallpapers are printed to order by carefully selected specialist production partners, chosen for their quality and expertise.
Producing many of our pieces to order helps us create thoughtfully made interiors while reducing unnecessary waste.
What Are The Care Instructions For Our Creations?
Our fabrics, cushions and made-to-measure creations are designed for decorative interior use and should be handled with care.
We recommend gentle hand washing where appropriate and line drying away from direct sunlight. Due to the nature of printed textiles, prolonged washing and exposure to strong sunlight may affect colour over time.
For specific care guidance relating to your chosen product, please contact us and we will be happy to advise.
What Are Your Cushions Filled With?
We offer a choice of cushion fillings to suit different preferences and interior styles.
British Wool
A natural, biodegradable filling with a firmer feel and excellent resilience.
Eco Fibre
A vegan-friendly filling made from recycled plastic bottles, offering a softer and lighter feel. This is currently our most popular cushion filling.
Cushions may also be purchased as covers only, allowing you to use your preferred cushion pad or reuse an existing insert.
All cushion pads are made in the UK and comply with current fire safety regulations.
What Are The Current Lead Times On Blinds & Curtains?
Made-to-measure curtains, blinds and bespoke soft furnishings are typically completed within 4–6 weeks once all materials are available.
Lead times may vary depending on the scale and complexity of the project. If you require a bespoke quotation, we will provide an estimated production schedule at the time of ordering.
Please note that fabric printing lead times may apply in addition to making times where relevant.
How Do I Get A Quote For Window Dressings?
Whether you are furnishing a single room or a larger project, we would be delighted to help.
Simply contact us with your measurements, preferred design and any project details, and we will provide a tailored quotation based on your requirements.
We are also happy to discuss your project by email or telephone and can advise on fabric choices, linings, headings and finishing details to help create the perfect made-to-measure window treatment.
What Linings Do You Offer?
We offer a selection of lining options to suit different interiors and requirements, including standard lining, blackout lining and interlining for added insulation, fullness and drape.
Our made-to-measure curtains and blinds can be tailored to your project, and we are happy to advise on the most suitable lining based on your room, fabric choice and desired finish.
What Heading Options Do You Have For Curtains?
We offer a range of curtain heading styles to suit both traditional and contemporary interiors.
Available options include double pinch pleat, triple pinch pleat, pencil pleat, wave heading, tab top and rod pocket finishes.
If you are unsure which heading style is right for your space, we are happy to discuss the options and recommend the most suitable finish for your project.

Do You Offer Design Consultations?
Yes. We are always happy to discuss your project before you place an order.
Whether you need help selecting fabrics, calculating quantities, choosing the most suitable window treatment or refining the finishing details, we can guide you through the process.
Consultations can be arranged by email, telephone, WhatsApp or video call, allowing us to provide personalised advice tailored to your project.
For larger projects, we are happy to work alongside interior designers, decorators and trade professionals.
Samples
Why Should I Order Samples?
Ordering a sample is the best way to experience the colour, scale and texture of a design before placing a larger order.
Colours may appear differently on screens and devices, so we always recommend viewing a sample in your own space and lighting conditions before making a final decision.
As our fabrics and wallpapers are printed to order, slight variations between print runs may occur. For the closest possible colour match, we recommend ordering all materials for a project at the same time.
How Long Will Samples Take To Arrive?
Most samples are dispatched within 3 working days, subject to availability.
Delivery times will vary depending on your location, but UK orders typically arrive within 3–5 working days after dispatch.
If you require your samples urgently, please contact us and we will do our best to help.
Can I Choose Which Section Of The Print To Have Sampled?
Sample pieces are usually selected to showcase the design as clearly as possible while making efficient use of the material.
If you would like to view a particular flower, motif or section of a design, please contact us before ordering. We will always try to accommodate specific requests where possible.
What Size Are Your Standard Samples?
Our standard fabric and wallpaper samples measure approximately 14 x 14 cm and are available across our collections.
We encourage ordering several samples to compare colours and designs in your own lighting conditions, helping you find the perfect option for your project.
Miscellaneous
Do You Offer Trade Accounts?
Yes, we welcome applications from interior designers, decorators, architects, specifiers and other industry professionals.
Our trade programme offers access to trade pricing, samples and personalised support to help with both residential and commercial projects.
