Meet 19 Wallpaper Designers Creating Beautiful Patterns
I asked 19 wallpaper designers to share their work and introduce themselves. Their styles are so mixed and go from hand-painted botanicals to more abstract designs.
It’s a great resource for brands looking for pattern designers to collaborate with or license from, or anyone who just wants some wallpaper inspiration from some really talented designers.
Pattern Design by Linn Warme
I’m Linn Warme, a surface pattern designer and illustrator based in Västerås, Sweden. I have a background in textile design with a BA in Textile Art and an MA in Textile Design. I started my career working in-house for some of Sweden’s biggest fashion companies.
These days, I run my own studio and work as a freelancer. My designs are colorful and filled with life, with hand-drawn florals and wildlife inspired by the Swedish forest. My creative process usually starts with pen and paper sketches and then turns them into seamless repeats in Photoshop. You can find my patterns in fashion, wallpaper, stationery, editorial, and packaging.
Hello, I’m Clea, a multi-disciplinary designer and stylist from London, England. My patterns have been licensed for products including fabric, stationery and packaging.
I am particularly fond of designing patterns featuring flowers and foliage, drawing inspiration from working as a florist, balanced with more abstract, textural and geometric patterns. My surface design process usually starts with mark-making in paint on paper, before being digitized, refined and turned into repeat patterns. I find this process allows for more expressive and playful results
I also work as a designer, creating beautiful websites and brand styling for other creative entrepreneurs, including surface designers and illustrators.
Hello! I’m Kate, a British born artist, now based in San Francisco where I paint and design wallpaper and textiles, predominantly with a floral focus. My work is very feminine and romantic and I love drawing on classic British interiors and textiles for inspiration.
My background in fashion design, and time spent in the fashion industry, has always been a huge influence to me, showing me just how important print and pattern is to every product!
I now run my own boutique print studio, offering hand-painted, unique designs.
My name is Catherine Marion, and I am an artist based in the beautiful Taranaki region of New Zealand. I create intricate botanical patterns that people can get lost in. I love playing with colour, it’s one of my favourite parts of the creative process. When I create a new pattern, it’s not uncommon for me to end up with seven different colourways. This means my wallpapers can create many different atmospheres within a room.
I’m Iryna Ruggeri, a wallpaper and surface pattern designer with a love for storytelling through pattern. My work is inspired by nature, travel, and Arts & Crafts heritage, and I create layered, illustrated designs with small handcrafted details that invite you to slow down and look closer.

My designs have been featured in collections for brands including Milton & King, Loymina, Ohpopsi and Kingdom Home Design, as well as other home and interior brands internationally. I’m always grateful to collaborate on projects that allow my work to reach new spaces and homes.
I’m Emily Grogan, a designer creating bold, playful wallpapers in uplifting colours from my tiny Pemilyland studio in sunny Brighton, UK. Inspired by fond childhood memories and the world around my seaside home, I like to weave a feeling of warmth, fun and nostalgia into my designs.
As the daughter of an upholsterer, my love of print and pattern runs deep in my veins and shines through in my colourful, joyful approach to wallpaper design. With a world of colour and pattern available to us, I believe our homes should reflect our personalities and I love helping homeowners tell their own stories through their interior choices.
Hi! I’m Álex, a surface designer living in Madrid, Spain. Influenced by my graphic and interior design background, my art is quite simple and geometric, although I also like to introduce nature in a stylized and understated way. Every design begins by hand, using watercolor, gouache or print blocks and is later developed on the computer. I like the flat look of digital art but with an organic hand drawn twist. My goal is to create spaces that feel clean and contemporary, always with a touch of colour.
I am Erin Silliman, a textile designer living in the lush pacific northwest. Creating wallpaper that makes your house a home is a passion. I believe in joyful living and in celebrating moments of bliss.

You have a vision for your walls and I would love to bring it to life.
I’m Michelle Holik, an Australian textile and surface pattern designer specialising in hand-drawn and painted botanical artworks. Using pencil for fine detail and watercolour for layered texture, I create designs that feel refined, organic, and timeless.
Florals and foliage are my constant inspiration, their movement and intricacy translating beautifully into patterns for interiors. With over 15 years of industry experience, I’ve licensed my work to homewares, stationery, and fabric brands worldwide.
Textiles have been central to my practice, and wallpaper has become a natural extension, allowing my botanicals to transform entire spaces. Alongside licensing, I also collaborate with brands on bespoke designs, bringing considered, hand-crafted artwork to a range of applications.

Cecilia Battaini
Illustrator, Surface Designer & Traveling Artist from Milan, Italy
My name is Cecilia Battaini and I’m an illustrator, surface designer and traveling artist from Milan, Italy. Here where is located my cozy studio, filled with plants and with my original illustrations just everywhere, and when I’m not drawing in my place you can find me traveling around the world. With my sketchbook and pencils by my side, I search for plants, flowers and wildlife to use as inspiration for my whimsical patterns and illustrations. Flowers, mushrooms, plants, veggies and fruits, animals, sea life… nature has always inspired me since I was a child, and today the wonders of the natural world are at the heart of my artistic creations.
I began drawing flowers during my teenager years, when I was going through very hard times. It was a sort of therapy that helped me reconnecting with myself and finding some peace of mind. I began seeing it as an expression of my inner garden, as I love calling my inner world, where I imagine that my feelings, dreams, memories and emotions give life to a thriving garden. Soon this became my ultimate goal – helping others to grow their inner garden as well, whatever creating artworks featured on products that will bring joy and beauty to your homes and daily lives or hosting botanical illustration workshops that will help you relax and reconnect with your inner world.
Every single one of my hand-drawn sketches is hand-drawn with colored pencils, then scanned onto my laptop, and finally I use Affinity to arrange all of them in patterns and complex illustrations. I mainly work with brands, licensing my existing artworks or creating custom art, and my creations are featured on many different products, from wallpapers to phone cases, from greeting cards to wall art. In the most recent years I took further my goal to help others to grow their inner garden as well, and I started hosting both in person and online workshops about botanical illustrations, which also led me to publish a Skillshare page and launching my Art Garden Club on Patreon.
Hi, I’m a surface pattern and print designer, with a love for stylized, beautiful colored patterns. Along with textiles, I love creating designs for wallpaper. Most of my work leans toward an abstract, minimalist, and geometric style.
I also have a soft spot for ‘cute’ things, which shows up in my wallpaper and fabric collections for nursery and kids’ rooms. I like to use small details to tell a story and spark a child’s imagination. My inspiration comes from the everyday life; a childhood memory, a walk through a garden, or just watching my cats.
I’m an artist and surface pattern designer based in St. Joseph, Michigan. My work blends organic tones, tactile textures, handcrafted motifs, and nature-inspired symmetry. I’m drawn to the flow and balance of natural elements as well as the beauty of human cultures. I bring these elements together in my work to create a grounded look that makes your space feel like an extension of nature. Designs in my portfolio range from bohemian botanical to modern abstract, and from whimsical vintage to traditional minimalist.
My designs can be found in homes and businesses across the United States and in the far reaches of Dubai on the private resort Island of Zuhha. I design with the intention of weaving nature’s presence into everyday life, cultivating spaces that feel grounded, calm, and deeply personal.
Hi, I’m Elena, a surface pattern designer based in Bucharest, Romania, creating under the name of EliveraDesigns. With a background in graphic design, I now focus on creating patterns for home decor and fabric, particularly for interior design applications with wallpaper design holding a special place in my work.
My designs begin as hand sketches on paper and are later developed digitally. I’m drawn to themes rooted in nature, often with folk and rustic influences. Through my work, I simply hope I can play a small part in creating things that are beautiful or useful in a positive way. My favorite theme to explore when it comes to wallpaper design is coastal, inspired by summer, beach vacations and travel. I enjoy translating that light, relaxed feeling into my work.
If you’d like to explore my designs or discuss licensing opportunities, feel free to visit my website and get in touch.
I’m Julianne Haness of J Marie Creates, a freelance surface pattern designer based in Los Angeles. I love creating unique and sometimes quirky prints inspired by vintage nostalgia, heirloom florals and anything else that sparks inspiration. I specialize in designing patterns for fabric, fashion, home goods and of course wallpaper, where my true passion lies! You can find my designs on Happywall, Wimzy Walls, and my best-selling wallpaper designs on Spoonflower.
Hello, I’m Milena. I’m an Italian surface pattern designer based in Ireland, and I specialize in hand-drawn wallpaper.
I’ve loved drawing since I was a child. I used to spend hours sketching freely, and this work still brings me back to that feeling. Most of my designs begin by hand. My sketchbooks are always around, and my iPad is usually in my bag, ready whenever an idea comes to me.
I’m drawn to irregular lines and subtle imperfections that give a pattern movement and personality. I think of wallpaper as something immersive. It surrounds you, so I pay close attention to rhythm, scale, and how a repeat moves across a wall.
Nature inspires much of what I do. I pay attention to its shapes, textures, and movement, and I bring those elements into my work through line and color. Color plays an important role in my process and helps define the atmosphere of each design.
For me, wallpaper is a way to tell a story and give character to a space.
