Well Dressed Home
Introducing dresser curtains, the latest addition to British textile, homeware and lifestyle brand Tori Murphy
A new take on café curtains, the dresser curtain is designed to conceal open shelves and white goods.
“Dresser curtains are a direct result of our family’s needs. We restored an antique dresser, but we didn’t have space for doors to open around it, so a fabric curtain was the perfect solution to disguise pots, pans and the general chaos of family life!” explains company founder Tori.
“Curtains take up far less space than doors and add a tactile, nostalgic feel. Choose our standard rod pocket for simplicity or a rod pocket with upstand for a more decorative, frilly look. If you’re wanting to replace cupboard or wardrobe panels with fabric, choose the double rod pocket curtain, which simply slides and gathers on to your pole or cord,” suggests Tori, whose company was founded in 2012.
Joining the ‘made-to-measure in 14 working-days’ service – including dresser and café curtains as well as relaxed Roman blinds – is fabric collection Settle.
“A new material culture inspired by the traditional Irish farmhouse, Settle is an iteration of my Irish identity,” explains Tori.
“It’s a celebration of the pared back, practical home, made gentle with soft, well-loved fabrics.
“Settle includes modern checks and classic stripes that look like they’ve existed for a hundred years and will last for another hundred to come.
“It’s inspired by memories of my large family, with the much-loved kitchen dresser in the constant background, heaving with treasures.”
Settle is woven in England using linen, merino wool and organic cotton, a first for the independent brand: “We constantly strive to do better within our textile community and in our own homes,” concludes Tori.
