Summer has a way of reminding us to look up. Whether it’s a sky full of stars or the glow of fireworks overhead, some of the most memorable moments happen above us.

We think the same should be true indoors.

The ceiling is often the last surface to be considered, yet designers have long referred to it as the fifth wall, an opportunity to transform not just a room, but the way it is experienced.

Our Zodiac Vellum ceiling mural was created for exactly that purpose. Inspired by celestial charts and the quiet wonder of the night sky, it invites the eye upward, creating a space that feels immersive from every angle.

To those celebrating the Fourth of July this weekend, we wish you a wonderful holiday. And to our friends around the world, we hope you’re finding reasons to look up this summer.

Feature walls are often the default.
One moment of impact, surrounded by restraint.
But when a pattern wraps the room, the experience shifts entirely.
There’s no single focal point carrying the space. No visual start or stop. Just continuity.
The eye moves differently. The architecture feels more considered. Even smaller or more complex rooms, like attics, begin to feel expansive rather than segmented.
We often think of wallpaper as something applied to a wall.
A fully wrapped room is less a space, more a destination. You can go anywhere, dears. You decide.
Would you wrap a space, or keep it to one wall?

There’s a tendency to go smaller in smaller spaces.

Smaller pattern, quieter print, less risk.

But more often than not, that’s what creates visual noise.

Large scale works differently.

It reduces the number of elements the eye has to process. The composition becomes clearer, the room feels more intentional, and the pattern has space to speak.

We see it often with our avian motifs in particular. When they’re allowed to exist at scale, they don’t overwhelm the room, they define it.

It’s less about filling the space, and more about shaping how it’s experienced.

Would you go bold in a smaller room?

This spring, we look to the arboretum, a place where nature is not just admired, but thoughtfully cultivated. Historically, these spaces were designed as living collections, blurring the line between garden and home.

That idea stayed with us.

We brought the arboretum indoors, layering organic forms, soft greens, and a quiet sense of growth. A reminder that the most compelling spaces don’t just hold life, they evolve with it.
