New Launch: Maru. A Refined Collection of Printed Linens Inspired by Nature

British fabric house Linwood proudly introduces Maru, a new collection of printed linens that captures the quiet beauty of the natural world. Designed in the UK and printed on pure linen, the collection reinterprets archive references and folk motifs through a contemporary lens.

Each of the seven designs offers a different visual rhythm – from lyrical birds and playful lions to stylised florals and expressive stripes – in a palette that ranges from earthy neutrals to rich, modern tones. Suitable for both upholstery and curtains, Maru is a versatile and elegant addition to the Linwood portfolio.

Songbird

Already a favourite in Linwood’s velvet range, Songbird now appears on linen, offering a lighter, fresher feel. Inspired by antique crewelwork and hand-painted in our studio, the design features birds, scrolling foliage, and stylised leaves.

Ima

A small-scale botanical inspired by an Asian trellis pattern, Ima is refined and rhythmic. Layered leaves and outlines give subtle texture – ideal for both modern and classic schemes.

Pipili

Whimsical and richly decorative, Pipili takes its cue from an antique bedspread. Hand-painted lions, florals, and starry motifs combine in a storybook-style design full of British charm.

Yala

A bold reinterpretation of a hand block-printed textile from Uzbekistan. Sweeping foliage and stylised blooms form an elegant, expressive repeat for statement decorating.

Each design in Maru is a celebration of nature, reinterpreted through a modern lens,’ says Ella Richards, Head of Design at Linwood. ‘Our studio team has created something fresh and usable – perfect for homes that seek comfort, character, and timeless style.’

Yala Stripe

Designed to complement Yala, this painterly stripe adds tonal variation and balance. Its hand-drawn quality lends itself to layering or standalone use for a more graphic look.

Hinako

Delicate florals drift across the linen ground in this calming, considered design. Inspired by Asian folk art and simplified from a richly coloured original.

Talki

Striking yet serene, Talki presents stylised palm fronds in a rhythmic vertical stripe. It brings movement and structure to interiors with a confident, architectural edge.

About Linwood

Linwood is a British brand that places creativity and innovation at the core of everything that it does. With a firm belief that colour and pattern bring joy to a scheme, we draw on classic English style and imbue it with a contemporary spirit, producing exclusive collections of fabrics, wallpapers and cushions that brim with personality and charm. Working with traditional and newfound materials, we are constantly finding novel ways to innovate, developing sustainable, more ecologically responsible fabrics that are as beautiful as they are practical. Our artistic vision is an individualistic one and so we don’t offer a specific Linwood look: rather, every collection that we produce – be it pleasing small-scale prints or quintessentially English botanicals; informal plain linens or sumptuous printed velvets – is driven by a desire to captivate and delight, bringing a playful, distinctive style to all manner of interiors.
