My project was to design a collection of upmarket commercial wall coverings for the boutique hotel market.

I wanted my approach to capture the english country gardens which led me to flowers and butterflies. I represented them in a mix of traditional and contemporary styles, as I have always lived in the countryside and always been such an inspiration to me in all my work.

I experimented with mixing 'old' style with 'new' and applied a vintage character on top of a contemporary style. The designs have come from a collection of contrasting styles and techniques combined together in layers. I also thought about the colour pallet keeping a very subtle approach to the background and not overwhelming the pattern.

I have presented designs for wall panels but have also produced repeat options in a more traditional style this gives some flexibility. I feel it creates a design thats big and dynamic, fit for wall coverings but at the same time delicate.

I wanted to make all my designs capture a romantic, light and fresh atmosphere and that fits in any room.
