THE FABRIC ROOM
THE FABRIC ROOM
When choosing a fabric design is only one aspect to consider. It’s also about how the light falls upon it, the texture, touch – even smell. Our Fabric Room is calming and intimate, a backdrop with the feel of a real home that contains piles of books and fabrics. We hold many large samples for the larger designs.
One of our team is always on hand to chat, we love nothing more than talking style and ideas. We can also help you match paints to fabrics from one of the paint collections we stock: Little Greene Paint Library, Sanderson, Annie Sloan or Farrow and Ball. Or let us arrange for samples to be sent to you. For a small deposit we have a lending library of fabrics, for you to try out at home.

ART, ANTIQUES & DECORATIVE ITEMS
Furthering our support for British design, The Forest Bailiff has always had a strong connection with local artists. Currently we are exhibiting the works of John Whittall and Maximilian Woodruff.
John, who now lives in Sussex, paints Still Life and portraits, but he also continues to return to Wimbledon to paint scenes of the Common. “I love to observe the changing of the light, and invariably I finish a day painting a sunset.”
Maximilian is a sculptor. You may also be familiar with Maximilian as our log man! He works primarily in metal, and specialises in figurative sculpture that can be placed indoors or out, bringing dramatic focus to life studies of animals and birds. Maximilian undertakes regular commissions, mainly for private buyers and is happy to chat about ideas. View Maximilian’s website
DECORATIVE ITEMS
We are constantly adding decorative vintage pieces that sit well in both contemporary and traditional interiors. Many of these items are not in store for very long so we encourage you to call in soon!
In addition we stock a good range of affordable furniture and accessories from companies including Garden Trading, Nkuku and Wireworks, offering occasional tables, lean-to shelving, jars, baskets, bathroom cabinetry, benches and chairs.
LIGHTING
LIGHTING
Not only does good lighting transform: an unusual lampshade can be a focal point in a room, introducing style and atmosphere. At The Forest Bailiff we offer lighting that can either dominate or complement a space. We work very closely with talented designers, showcasing all textures and patterns of light. In addition to rare and vintage design, we are a stockist for the following brands: BTC, Davey Lighting, Old School Electric and Garden Trading – and in the event we do not have your chosen item we will be happy to order it in.
