Welcome to New California Design.
It’s about heritage. It’s about time.

 

The Californian Collection is a series of original and unique wallpapers and fabrics, inspired by multi-generational California living, and designed for those who enjoy beautiful design infused with earthiness and authenticity.

 

From the whispering palms of Santa Monica and the iconic sandbox of Palm Springs to the timeless architectural charm of Pasadena, Southern California is a dance of historical grandeur and avant-garde spirit. In this radiant landscape where adobe missions kiss sunlit skies and modernist visions rise, a design narrative is waiting to be told. It’s a visual story rooted in history, self determination and the landscape.  It is with profound joy and anticipation that I introduce Pearl & Maude’s latest collection of unique wallpaper and fabric designs: The Californian Collection.

This new collection of unique wallpapers and fabrics is our ode to the past and a bold stride into the future of what authentic California design can and should be. It’s an invitation to blend the sophistication and whimsy of California’s storied legacy into the very fabric of your home. To infuse interiors with thoughtful reflections, playful patterns, and rich colors that speak of journeys traversed and memories yet to be made.

I am excited to present to you our latest wallpaper and fabric colorway:

Arachne in Silver Blue.

 

Arachne showcases a captivating trellis wallpaper and fabric pattern in shades of silver blue and cream. This design is available in both wallpaper and linen fabric options. The intricate pattern evokes the charm of a classic garden room motif, adorned with spiderwebs that transition gracefully from gray to teal. With its blend of sophistication and tradition, “Arachne” offers a contemporary twist to timeless design. The trellis pattern exudes an air of elegance, reminiscent of leisurely strolls through lush gardens on sunny days. Embrace the subtly warm, dewy-blue hue harmonizing with the grace of cream-colored trellis. This pattern weaves narratives of nature’s artistry and beauty.

The Artistry, Customization, and Environmental Responsibility of Digitally Printed Wallpapers

 

The use of digitally printed wallpaper is becoming increasingly popular in the interior design industry. However, an established interior designer recently expressed her reluctance to embrace this modern technology, preferring traditional printing methods instead. As someone who values craftsmanship and traditional art forms, I understand her perspective. Nevertheless, this discussion prompted me to reflect on my own production process as a traditional craftsman and why I ultimately chose digital printing. My answer lies in three distinct characteristics of large-format digital printing: artistry, customization and a sense of environmental responsibility. These factors demonstrate why digitally printed wallpaper has become my preferred choice for producing Pearl & Maude wallpapers.

Decorating with Red and Blue

 

In the realm of interior design, color choices hold the transformative power to create captivating spaces. Red and blue, two hues that stand on opposite ends of the spectrum, possess distinctive qualities that can shape the ambiance of a room. When utilized thoughtfully, these strong hues can create energetic interiors that capture the essence of sophistication.  In this edition, we explore what these colors mean emotionally and how they behave visually. Then, in celebration of July 4th , we’ll share three ways to decorate with red and blue together, uncovering the harmonious contrasts they create and the dynamic energy they bring to our living spaces.

When the call came in, asking if Pearl & Maude was interested in collaborating on a custom wallpaper for a La Cienega Design Quarter’s Legends window, the only answer was “YES!!!” An opportunity to create something show-stopping with Rydhima Brar, an adventurous designer who loves pattern, color, heritage and expression as much as I do, was too exciting to pass up.

~ Decorating with striped walls? ~

Check out our organic striped wallpapers that add character and depth to the classic striped wall.

Traditional stripes – they’re a paradox: equal widths of contrasting colors, simple designs with energetic effect, elegantly classic but with a bit of carnival imagery thrown in. They’re kind of everything and nothing, all at once. Decorating with striped walls can be different for everyone.

We adore stripes for all of their complexity. Their tailored structure brings organization to any space and they’re so ripe for interpretation!

We’ve redefined the traditional stripe with swirling, fluctuating and complex designs that add oodles of character to a classic room. We offer three stripe patterns in particular: Elizabeth is our undulating, organic pretty girl, Charlie, our wild child who melds Renaissance florets with pavilion stripes in a contemporary repeat pattern, and Lou. I’m not even sure how to describe Lou. He’s kind of the guy who brings mushrooms to the yacht party.
