Colour is very much at the heart of Kate Medlicott fabrics and homewares. Bold colours and simple motifs contrast with flamboyant one-off designs, often influenced by Kate’s time in the Far East.

Having grown up on an organic farm, surrounded by wildlife, Kate studied Fine Art and History of Art, before being drawn to a career working in business in London, Singapore and Hong Kong for much of her twenties and early 30s.

However, Kate’s return to rural England, heralded the start of a return to the creative arts and a fabric design commission which set her off on her new career, forming the Kate Medlicott studio in 2016.

Kate is now based in the South West of England, where she lives with her husband and two small children.
