GP & J Baker has since grown into a design house to be reckoned with, their fabrics and wallpapers adorn homes across the country. In 1982 they became the proud holders of Her Majesty the Queen’s Royal Warrant, in recognition of the supply of GP & J Baker fabrics and wallcoverings to the Royal household.

Their style could be called traditional with an eclectic twist. They are known for their unique and imaginative edge that they place on designs and the contemporary printing and weaving techniques they continue to pioneer. Today, in addition to developing its own traditional style and unique "handwriting", GP & J Baker continues to grow its reputation as one of the world's innovators of fabric design and colour.

Created by a renewed desire for homes that express our unique personalities, it combines antique inspired textiles, vibrant colours and patterns with a vintage feel.
