Summer Footstools in Cath Kidston Fabric


Footstools upholstered in Cath Kidston fabric bear the hall mark of summer. This is most certainly illustrated by a fabulous collection of footstools in a selection of vibrant prints from the celebrated British designer. Cheerful and practical, Cath Kidston products nod towards the 1950s and this contemporary range of footstools will brighten up any room in the house.

Cath Kidston began by creating a collection of printed ironing board covers but these days you can decorate the bedrooms of your children with her cowboy wallpaper, pitch a Cath Kidston tent or listen to a radio decorated with one of her designs. She opened her first shop in London in 1993 and after almost twenty years her business has a turnover today of more than £50 million. She felt from from the start that she was onto something with the notion of what she was doing. She recalled feeling, "I'd really overstepped the mark when I opened my second shop - thinking, that's probably going a stage too far." She was awarded with an MBE in the 2011 New Years Honours List and is Kirsty Young's castaway in the latest edition of Desert Island Discs to be broadcast on the morning of Friday 29th April, the same day as the Royal Wedding of Prince William to Catherine Middleton.

The collection of footstools upholstered in Cath Kidston Fabric reflects the colour and vibrancy of Spring and early Summer comprising footstools in a range of sizes. As an ideal foot rest the small footstool is upholstered in a delicate "Lace Stripe Pink" fabric with larger footstools and benchstools in Cut Roses and Provence Rose fabrics. Some people will want to order the stools to co-ordinate with existing furniture whereas others select these bold and exciting designs as a genuine splash of colour for the new season. With the selection of a fabric footstool from this range, skilled and time served craftsmen turn your dreams into practical and beautiful reality.
These hand crafted fabric footstools make a valuable household addition either as a gift or useful family footrest. With a footstool upholstered in a contemporary Cath Kidston designed fabric you will be at the forefront of quality and the vanguard of great British design!
