Custom Wallpaper Printing & Production

Custom wallpaper is a luxury good. At Pearl & Maude the process is conducted as a luxury service. We are not a volume production house. We are an artisan studio that oversees every step of production with human eyes, careful judgment, and high-touch communication. Every project is made to order, produced deliberately, and guided by experience rather than automation.

Our Production Philosophy

Because we print in-house, we retain full control over quality, color, scale, and finish. This level of control allows us to work in two distinct ways. We can take the reins entirely and deliver on trust, or collaborate closely with clients and designers in a thoughtful back-and-forth until the desired outcome is fully resolved. In both cases, the goal is the same: a finished wallcovering that feels considered, elevated, and beautifully at home within its architectural setting.

High-resolution output requires high-quality input. When artwork arrives underdeveloped, we refine or adapt it to meet the standards required for large-scale custom wallpaper printing and interior applications. As an atelier focused on residential, hospitality, and commercial interiors, we do not rely on graphic design conventions alone. We approach color through an interior design lens. We reference paint swatches and material samples rather than purely digital standards, so finished walls read correctly in real light, not just on screens.

Substrates & Materials

We maintain a select inventory of substrates that perform exceptionally well, including paper, Type II vinyl, and metallic mylar. Many projects, however, require something more specific. Substrates are often sourced per project from our trusted network of suppliers to suit installation conditions, wall surfaces, lighting, and use. High-traffic environments may benefit from durable vinyls, while other spaces call for softer finishes such as linen, grasscloth, or fiber-based textures.

Color Accuracy & Quality Control

Color determination and print quality are established through sampling and client approval before production begins. We monitor consistency throughout our custom wallpaper printing process. Work that does not meet our standards is corrected rather than passed along.

White Label Printing

We also produce wallpaper on a white-label basis for a select number of surface designers and interior creatives developing their own lines. These are ongoing partnerships rooted in shared values, not one-off transactions.

Custom Wallpaper Design

Custom wallpaper design begins with listening. Clients arrive with a space, an idea, an image, or a feeling. Often, they bring all four. Their primary role is to show up with the architecture and a sense of mood. Our role is to determine how to get there beautifully. We translate instinct and atmosphere into a resolved wallcovering designed to live comfortably within the space.

What Bespoke Wallpaper Design Means to Us

In our studio, bespoke wallpaper design means a ground-up concept and execution created for a particular interior and never repeated exactly. This is the highest form of custom wallcoverings and self-expression: artwork conceived in direct conversation with architecture, light, and use. Bespoke design is not always necessary, however. In some cases, adapting an existing Pearl & Maude pattern offers a more efficient and equally successful solution. We guide clients honestly toward the level of customization that best serves the project, balancing creative ambition with investment and scope.

Designing for real rooms is where custom work truly excels. Ceiling height, door and window placement, lighting conditions, and circulation all influence pattern scale, repeat, and orientation. Wallpaper designed without these considerations can feel disconnected from its environment. Custom design allows the wallcovering to respond to the room rather than compete with it. Every custom wallpaper design project is delivered through our custom wallpaper printing process.

Understanding Scale in Wallpaper Design

Scale plays a powerful role in how wallpaper is experienced. Small-scale patterns, while intricate up close, often read as a subtle, textural ground from a distance. This makes them engaging in intimate spaces and calming in larger ones. Medium-to-large patterns carry the most visual activity and often act as the artwork of the room. These are dynamic, attention-holding designs that still rely on rhythm and repeat to feel cohesive. Grand-scale work, often expressed through murals, circles back to a sense of calm, offering an immersive, experiential quality that is more atmospheric than busy.

The Most Successful Collaborations

Our studio leads the design process from concept through sampling and into production. The most successful collaborations are those built on trust: a shared understanding of the desired outcome, followed by space for us to ideate, present options, and refine based on thoughtful feedback. Wallpaper design is inherently technical. It involves proportion, math, material behavior, installation realities, and environmental conditions. This is where art meets engineering. Our studio is fluent in that intersection, grounded in experience and open to exploration.

Your Custom Wallpaper Designer – Teale Hatheway

An Architectural Approach to Wallpaper Design

Pearl & Maude is led by artist and designer Teale Hatheway, whose work consistently moves between traditional and contemporary worlds. Her designs feel unfamiliar yet recognizable. They are rooted in history but interpreted through a modern lens, refined but with an edge. A lifelong fascination with classical architecture and ornament informs much of her work, which begins as paintings. Most Pearl & Maude designs are derived from Teale’s extensive portfolio of hand-painted studies of historic architectural elements. These studies are translated into wallcoverings that bring depth, detail, and presence to interior spaces.

Teale’s professional background spans multiple disciplines that shape her approach to wallpaper design. She began her career as an exhibiting fine artist focused on architectural painting. Her background includes environmental design, rock-and-roll lighting, large-scale art installations, and historic preservation work involving plaster ornament in century-old buildings. She also comes from a family of artists, designers, and engineers, a lineage that reinforces both creative fluency and technical rigor.

Bridging Art, Design, and Production

Clients are drawn to Teale for her versatility and her ability to bridge art, design, and production seamlessly. Because printing is handled in-house, she can adapt color, scale, and pattern efficiently while maintaining consistency and control. She is as comfortable refining a painterly motif as she is preparing artwork for large-format murals or adapting client-provided imagery for architectural application. This combination of artistic sensitivity and production reliability makes her a trusted partner for clients seeking high-quality custom wallpaper printing and design.

Many Pearl & Maude designs are informed by years of studying and painting historic architectural detail, a background that influences scale, rhythm, and ornament rather than literal imagery. While deeply fluent in highly decorative traditions such as Art Deco, Neoclassical, and Rococo architecture, Teale is equally interested in how wallpaper can introduce richness and atmosphere into contemporary or minimal spaces. Her understanding of architecture informs decisions around scale, rhythm, movement, and installation considerations, particularly in complex environments.

Direct Involvement from Concept to Completion

Teale is personally involved in every custom wallpaper project, from early conversations and concept development through color approvals and final production. When you work with Pearl & Maude on custom wallpaper, you work directly with its artist and founder throughout the process.

Custom Designer Wallpapers

Custom designer wallpaper is the most common way clients work with Pearl & Maude’s design services. We offer custom colorways and scale for our entire Pearl & Maude pattern library. This approach allows clients to adapt existing Pearl & Maude designer wallpapers so they are intentionally scaled and colored for a specific space, without starting from the ground up. The result is a wallpaper that feels singular and site-specific, while benefiting from a proven design foundation.

Many Pearl & Maude patterns are designed at a generous scale, with architectural presence built in from the outset. Customization allows these designs to be recalibrated for a wide range of applications and interior styles. Scale, repeat, orientation, density, and color can all be adjusted to suit ceiling height, room proportions, and the overall design scheme. This ensures the pattern feels natural and resolved once installed.

How to Customize Pearl & Maude’s Designer Wallpapers

The customization process begins with clarity. We ask clients to define their intention for the space, provide dimensions, and share a color reference in the form of a paint chip rather than a purely digital swatch. This allows us to work in real-world color relationships from the start. From there, we adapt the chosen design and typically produce a physical sample. This is usually sufficient to confirm scale, color, and overall effect. Additional sampling is always available when needed to ensure confidence before custom wallpaper printing begins.

Adapting an existing design is often more efficient than bespoke wallpaper design. Because the underlying pattern already exists, timelines are shorter and the outcome is more predictable, giving clients confidence early in the process. At the same time, the work remains deeply personal. Each customization is tailored to a specific interior, responding to its architecture, palette, and use rather than applying a one-size-fits-all solution.

Custom designer wallpaper offers a balance of creativity, efficiency, and assurance. It is an ideal option for projects that call for originality and refinement, without reinventing the wheel.

Los Angeles Custom Wallpaper Studio

A Los Angeles–Based Wallpaper Atelier

Pearl & Maude is a Los Angeles–based wallpaper studio specializing in custom wallpaper printing and design services for residential, hospitality, and commercial interiors. All production is handled in-house. This allows for close oversight, efficient communication, and a high level of technical and aesthetic control throughout each project.

Local Collaboration, National Reach

Being based in Southern California offers practical advantages for designers, architects, and clients working locally. Proximity allows for easier collaboration, timely sampling, and coordination with installers, fabricators, and other trade partners. At the same time, Pearl & Maude works with clients nationwide, shipping finished wallcoverings across the United States and collaborating remotely with design teams wherever projects are located.

As a Los Angeles custom wallpaper studio, our focus is on architectural applications rather than mass-market products. We routinely work with complex spaces, evolving build schedules, and site-specific requirements, adapting artwork, scale, and materials to suit each project. Whether collaborating closely with a local design firm or producing work for a project across the country, the process remains personal, deliberate, and production-led.

A Studio Model Built on Clarity and Control

Clients seeking a Los Angeles wallpaper studio value direct access to the people designing and producing their work. Our studio model emphasizes clarity, responsiveness, and consistency, supporting projects from early concept through final installation with the same level of care.

Custom Made & Made-to-Order Wallpaper

A Range of Custom Wallpaper Services

At Pearl & Maude, custom made wallpaper is not a single service but a spectrum of possibilities. Projects range from small, strategic adjustments that make an existing design feel perfectly resolved, to ground-up artwork created for one-of-a-kind interiors. Each project is approached with the same intention. We produce wallpaper that belongs to its environment rather than forcing a space to accommodate a preexisting product.

Precision, Sustainability, and Site-Specific Production

Custom wallpaper printing allows for a level of precision and individuality that off-the-shelf wallpaper cannot offer. Designs are scaled to suit the architecture, colored to harmonize with the intended mood, and printed on materials chosen for the specific application. This approach minimizes waste, supports more sustainable production practices, and ensures that every installation is unique. Nothing is printed speculatively or held in inventory. Each run exists because a space called for it.

Lead times vary depending on the complexity of the work, the stage of the project, and the rhythm of communication. Some projects move quickly, while others unfold over several months. We are accustomed to working within the realities of architectural and interior design timelines, including the inevitable changes that occur mid-build. Our process is flexible and collaborative, adapting as projects evolve while maintaining clarity around production requirements.

Who Made-to-Order Wallpaper Is For

Made-to-order wallpaper is especially well suited to clients who value originality, craftsmanship, and thoughtful process. It resonates with those who are sustainability-minded, creatively adventurous, or simply interested in expressing a distinct point of view through their environment. This approach works best for clients who enjoy collaboration, trust the process, and are excited to work with an art and design studio rather than selecting from a catalog.

The custom wallpaper printing process with Pearl & Maude is not about speed or convenience. It is about intention, fit, and creating something that could not exist anywhere else.
